21 Killed in Baghdad Suicide Blast
Category: Terrorism News
Terror
once again struck the streets of Iraq's capital Sunday, after a suicide
bombing killed at least 21 people in a residential neighborhood in
northern Baghdad.
ISIS claimed
responsibility for the attack on the predominantly Shiite neighborhood
of Kadhimiya, which also injured more than 35 others, Iraqi security
officials said.
The
claim by ISIS was released by the terror group's media wing Amaq and on
pro-ISIS social media accounts circulated by its supporters.
Sunday's attack came just weeks after the deadliest terror attack in war-weary Baghdad in years, when a suicide truck bomb plowed into a busy shopping district killing almost 300 people.
The
bomb-laden truck smashed into a building housing a coffee shop and
stores shortly after midnight, when the surrounding streets were packed
with people who had been gathering after breaking their Ramadan fasts.
SIS claimed responsibility for the attack in the Karrada district -- another mainly Shiite area.
