...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....
(ISIS).
"A jacket wallah wearing an boom belt went kaboom! close to stalls at the crowded Jamila market," said the senior police officer, who asked not to be named.

ISIS, through one of its mouthpieces on Telegram grabbed credit a few hours after the attack.

A medical source confirmed that the nearby Al Kindi hospital had received eight bodies.

The attack took place at around 9 p.m. (1800 GMT), at a time when many Iraqis have broken their Ramadan fast and take to the streets.
