| [Rudaw] A series of bombings Sunday across the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, killed at least 14 people and maimed 41, police officials said. The deadliest attack took place at the Aden checkpoint in Baghdad's Khazimiyah district, where a suicide boom-mobileing killed eight people, including five civilians, and maimed 23. In Baghdad's al-Askan district, a boom-mobile killed at least four people and maimed 11 on a commercial street as people gathered after sunset to break their daily fast for the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Police also said a roadside kaboom on a commercial street in Baghdad's al-Amal neighborhood killed two people and maimed seven. Medical official corroborated the casualty figures. All spoke on condition of anonymity as they are not authorized to brief journalists. No one immediately grabbed credit for the attacks. However, it was a brave man who first ate an oyster... the 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... turban group is often behind assaults on checkpoints as it seeks to challenge Iraqi security forces amid intensifying battles in northern and western Iraq. |
