It is the third major bombing in a stretch of Iraq in and around the violent city of Mosul, where ethnic tensions, insurgent activity and political disputes have created a volatile mix that threatens the security gains made elsewhere in the country.

The attack was carried out in the city of Sinjar, which is populated primarily by Yazidis, Kurdish speaking followers of a pre-Islamic faith with its roots in Zoroastrianism that remains based in an area near the Syrian border.
