Twin ISIS suicide bombings kill at least 30, injure up to 40 in Iraq
[RT] Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
is claiming responsibility for two kabooms which killed 30 and injured up to 40 in central Iraq. One blast rocked the Shi'ite holy city of Karbala, second only to Mecca in importance for pilgrims.

The first attack took place in Karbala, 100km south of Baghdad, at around 11:30am local time when a bomb went kaboom! at a city center bus depot, injuring five people, reports local media outlet Al Hurra news.

Hours later, at roughly 1:45pm local time, a jacket wallah attacked a busy market in Musayib, about 50km east of Karbala. It killed at least 30 and injured 35, according to Iraqi security sources cited by Rooters.

Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIS) already grabbed credit for the attacks via their Amaq propaganda news network.
