Iraqi ministry of culture targeted in twin Baghdad bombings
2015-11-23
[Rudaw] A bomb detonated Sunday near the Iraqi ministry of culture in Baghdad, but officials say the kaboom caused no casualties.

The incident at the ministry coincided with another Baghdad kaboom that security sources are reporting may have killed several people.

Ministry spokeswoman Zahra al-Jubouri told Rudaw officials believe the bomb was planted on a car inside a garage belonging to the ministry. "The bomb was linked to one of the ministry's cars and after entering the garage it exploded," she said.

Meanwhile,

the second, deadly boom-mobile kaboom occurred in Baghdad's Rasafa district, with an exact casualty figure still unknown.

Baghdad and outlying areas see near-daily bombings. Many of them are later claimed by 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....
