Shafaq News/ A group of unknown assailants attacked the residence of the leading figure in the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), Haji Mseifi, on Monday morning, and the latter refrains from pointing fingers.

"The attack took place at two o'clock in the morning. I was on my way back from al-Sulaymaniyah," Mseifi told Shafaq News Agency, "one of my bodyguards sustained three gunshot wounds. Thankfully, he is stable now." 

"We are waiting for the investigation results to identify the perpetrators," said the PUK figure.
