2007 Yazidi communities bombings

The 2007 Yazidi communities bombings occurred at around 7:20 pm local time on August 14, 2007, when four co-ordinated suicide bomb attacks detonated in the Yazidi towns of Kahtaniya and Jazeera (Siba Sheikh Khidir), near Mosul.
Iraqi Red Crescent's estimated, one week afterward, the bombs killed 500 and wounded 1,500 people,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Toll in Iraq Bombings Is Raised to More Than 500 )〕〔(Reuters AlertNet - FACTBOX-Security developments in Iraq, Jan 20 )〕 making this the Iraq War's most deadly car bomb attack during the period of major American combat operations.
''Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung'' in August 2015 however mentions 336 people killed in these bombings and 1,500 wounded.〔''Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung'', 8 August 2015.〕
== Tensions and background ==

For several months leading up the attack, tensions had been building up in the area, particularly between Yazidis and Sunni Muslims (Muslims including Arabs and Kurds). Some Yazidis living in the area received threatening letters calling them "infidels".〔( Arwa Damon, Mohammed Tawfeeq and Raja Razek, "Iraqi officials: Truck bombings killed at least 500," CNN.com )〕 Leaflets were also distributed denouncing Yazidis as "anti-Islamic" and warning them that an attack was imminent.〔(NPR: General Calls Attack on Yazidis 'Ethnic Cleansing' )〕〔(BBC NEWS | Middle East | Minority targeted in Iraq bombings )〕
The attack might be connected to an incident wherein Du’a Khalil Aswad, a 17-year-old Yazidi girl, was stoned to death. Aswad was believed to have wanted to convert in order to marry a Sunni.〔(Survivors of bombs left to die in rubble - Times Online )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How suicide bombings shattered Iraq - Secret Iraq Files - Al Jazeera English )〕 Two weeks later, after a video of the stoning appeared on the Internet, Sunni gunmen〔(Stephen Farell, "Death Toll in Iraq Bombings Rises to 250", ''New York Times'' (August 15, 2007). )〕 stopped minibuses filled with Yazidis; 23 Yazidi men were forced from a bus and shot dead.
The Sinjar area which has a mixed population of Yazidis, Kurds, Turkmen and Arabs was scheduled to vote in a plebiscite on accession to the Kurdish region in December 2007. This caused hostility among the neighbouring Arab communities. A force of 600 Kurdish Peshmerga was subsequently deployed in the area, and ditches were dug around Yazidi villages to prevent further attacks.〔(NPR: Yazidis Live Among Reminders of Deadly Attack )〕
