[AnNahar] A boom-mobile blast near the Baghdad headquarters of a Shiite militia fighting 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
jihadist group in Iraq killed at least four civilians on Tuesday, police said.

A police colonel told AFP that 13 other people were maimed in the kaboom near the headquarters of Kataeb Imam Ali in the Karrada area of central Baghdad.

The bomb went off in front of the Royal Hotel, less than 500 meters (yards) away, leaving the headquarters untouched but damaging cars and the hotel lobby, an AFP photographer said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, the second in Karrada since Saturday when 15 people were killed in a boom-mobileing outside a popular restaurant.

Saturday's attack was claimed by the Islamic State group.
