Bombings in Iraq near market and courthouse kill 7
2015-04-25
[Rudaw] Iraqi officials say two bombings, one near a marketplace and the other near a courthouse, have killed seven people.

Police officials say the first of Friday's attacks took place in the morning, when a bomb went kaboom! near an outdoor market in the Sunni town of Tarmiyiah, killing four people and wounding eight. Tarmiyah is 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Baghdad.

A bomb near a courthouse killed three people and maimed nine in the town of Mahmoudiyah, south of Baghdad.

Medical officials confirmed the corpse count. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

No group immediately grabbed credit for the attacks. The Sunni murderous Moslem 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group has claimed scores of past attacks targeting security forces and Iraq's majority Shiites.
