I'm Bob Woodruff. There have been two devastating suicide attacks against U.S.-backed Kurdish officials in northern Iraq today. It happened at separate political headquarters in Irbil during celebrations of a Muslim holiday. At least 56 people are dead, more than 235 wounded. The scene is a gruesome one and hospitals are said to be in chaos. ABC's Neal Karlinsky has the story from Baghdad. The two suicide bombers struck at the same time in this normally peaceful part of Iraq, leaving hospitals overwhelmed with dead and wounded. This man says he was walking in with a friend when he saw a fireball coming out from inside. The targets, eight miles apart, were the offices of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, two rival political groups which control the Kurdish-dominated north. The dead include the region's governor, several local ministers and senior officials. They were among the hundreds gathered to celebrate the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. Hospitals were understaffed because of the holiday and doctors were quickly ordered to return. Residents were urged to donate blood. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was traveling in Baghdad at that time. Local officials think it could be the work of the extremist terror group Ansar al-Islam. But there has been no immediate claim of responsibility. It was only recently that the al-Quida-linked group, Ansar al-Islam, was driven from the Kurdish part of Iraq. That part of the country has largely been spared the violence, which has plagued the last of Iraq. Peter, Galbraith, the former US Ambassador and now an advisor to the US-backed Kurds, says the killing of so many local officials will have a lasting impact on creating a unified Iraq. Today's holiday is known as the day of sacrifice. As one Iraqi official said hours after the bombings, that's exactly what it was. Neal Karlinsky, ABC News, Baghdad.
