At least 83 people have been killed and 176 wounded in two separate bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital Sunday morning, Iraqi officials said.
In the deadliest attack, a car bomb hit Karada, a busy shopping district in the center of Baghdad, killing 78 people and wounding 160, according to police and hospital officials. It struck as families and young people were out on the streets after breaking their daylight fast for the holy month of Ramadan.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the bombing in a statement posted online, saying they had deliberately targeted Shiite Muslims.
Triste constat : les bonnes âmes qui reprochent aux médias occidentaux d’avoir moins bien couvert l’attentat en Turquie que la tuerie d’Orlando, n’ont semble-t-il pas remarqué que les massacres bi-mensuels perpétrés à Bagdad (notamment) depuis plus d’une décennie, ne font jamais la Une des médias.
