I wonder why the article doesn't mention the funeral; could this be the reason?

BAGHDAD - A car bomb exploded near a Kurdish party's office yesterday in Mosul, killing at least three Iraqi soldiers as tensions rose in volatile areas north of Baghdad ahead of pivotal elections.
Friction between Kurds and Sunni Arabs, as well as Sunnis and Shi'ites, has made northern Iraq a key battleground with just days to go before the vote.... Iraqi security forces became suspicious of the vehicle, which blew up as a team approached to inspect it, an army officer said....
Nobody claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred against a backdrop of heated rivalries between Kurds and mainly Sunni Arabs who are jockeying for power in Saturday's vote.... Insurgents also remain active in the north despite numerous US-Iraqi military operations....
Sounds like Plan B.
