BAGHDAD: The Islamic State (IS) militants claimed a suicide bombing that killed at least 32 people and wounded another 36 in Baghdad on Saturday.
It is the deadliest single attack to hit the Iraqi capital in over three months. The blast is the latest in a series of IS-claimed attacks targeting members of Iraq’s Shiite community.
Officials gave two different accounts of the attack – saying the bomber targeted either a funeral tent or the food and drinks distribution camp. IS militants issued an online statement that claimed the bombing and confirmed the latter account of the attack.
“I saw 20 martyrs on the ground,” a witness said. The extremist group considers Shiites to be heretics and frequently carries out attacks against them throughout the country.
