Bombing Attacks Kill Nearly 40, Injure over 80 in Baghdad
KABUL: (Middle East Press) At least 40 people have been killed and more than eighty others have been brutally wounded in a series of bombing attacks across the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
The first attack took place when a terrorist blew a car bomb in the Adan square, close to the northwest neighborhood of Kadhimiya, through a checkpoint, claiming the lives of three guards and five civilians, who were passing through. Twenty-three others also sustained injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital.
The second bomb was detonated in the al-Askan district on a commercial street at dusk, as people were preparing to break their fast and eat iftar. The explosion killed at least four people and wounded 11 more.
A third blast took place when a roadside bomb was detonated on a commercial street in the al-Amal neighborhood, killing two people and injuring seven others.
In the northern Shaab neighborhood, a car bomb killed 10 people and wounded a number of others.
As people and police forces gathered in the area to inspect the scene of the car bomb attack, a terrorist detonated his explosive vest, leaving nine dead and 25 wounded.
A roadside bomb went off in the Banook district, in which, six people lost their lives and 15 more sustained injuries.
However, no group has so far claimed responsibility for deadly attacks but such incidents frequently blame on ISIL terrorist groups.
