ISIS claims responsibility for Baghdad explosion
[Rudaw] 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 a kaboom Thursday evening in the Kadhimiya area of northern Baghdad.

Pro-ISIS websites published a statement from the group in which they claimed their fighters detonated an bomb at a "gathering of the Rafidah [Shiite] infidels" in the Kadhimiya area, killing three people and wounding more than twenty others.

The Iraqi military’s Security Media Cell said the blast was the result of an exploding gas pipe in a shop. It did not report any deaths, but stated some people were maimed.

In its weekly propaganda newspaper al-Naba, ISIS claimed it conducted 20 attacks across Iraq between May 27 and June 2, killing and injuring 25 people.
