Iraqi security forces arrest suspect over Baghdad bombing
[Rudaw] Iraqi security forces have arrested the alleged perpetrator behind a Baghdad explosion which killed two civilians and founded five others, according to a spokesperson for the Iraqi commander-in-chief.

An individual suspected to be behind the Wednesday IED bombing was arrested on Thursday, Yehia Rasool said in an official statement released on Sunday.

"The heroes of the National Security Service through field, technical and intelligence efforts were able to identify the perpetrator of this terrorist operation and to obtain accurate information about him and determine his location," the statement read.

"After obtaining the legal arrest warrants, he was arrested within 24 hours of committing the crime," the statement added.

The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group (ISIS) grabbed credit for the attack.

ISIS murderous Moslem activities have increased in recent weeks.

The holy warrior group killed the commander of the 59th Brigade of the Iraqi army, Brigadier General Ali Hameed Ghaydan, after gunnies attacked his convoy in the Ibn Sena region in al-Tarmia district, north of the capital city of Baghdad.

ISIS also grabbed credit for the killing of General Brigadier Ahmed al-Lami, commander of 7th division of the 29th brigade of the Iraqi army in an ambush in Anbar on Wednesday.

On May 15, two soldiers were killed and four maimed when a convoy hit an improvised bomb (IED) in northern Baghdad province. ISIS later grabbed credit for the blast.

May was an especially deadly month. Ten Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, or Hashd al Shaabi in Arabic) fighters were killed in a five-pronged assault in Salahaddin on May 2. On the same day, gunnies killed three federal coppers and maimed two others in an attack on Zaghniya cop shoppe in Diyala province.

ISIS claimed in its weekly propaganda newspaper al-Naba on Thursday that its gunnies had carried out 34 attacks in Iraq between July 23 and 29 alone — mainly in Anbar province.
