Alghad Press reported that a bomb blast rocked Saba al-Bur area in southern Baghdad, killing one civilian and wounding two others. Alsumaria News quoted a security source as saying that the body of an Interior Ministry agent was found inside a vehicle parked in Abu Gharib, west of the capital. It bore gunshot signs in the head and chest. Violence surged in Iraq with the emergence of Islamic State militants who took over large areas of the country in 2014. Baghdad has been witnessing almost daily bombings targeting civilians and security personnel. Nobody has claimed responsibility yet for the bombing or the killing of the security agent, but IS militants have said they had been responsible for several bloody explosions and attacks that hit the capital in the past months, bringing the governorate municipal and security officials under critics’ fire.
