| [Iran Press TV] At least 12 people have been killed and dozens more sustained injuries in two separate boom-mobile kabooms, blamed on the ISIS Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorist group, in the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad. A boom-mobile went off near a security checkpoint in the northern suburb of Husseiniya, killing nine and wounding 28 others, and the other blast hit an army convoy in Baghdad's southeastern neighborhood of Arab Jabour and killed three more people, and injured 11 others. According to local sources, the corpse count may increase. No group or individual has grabbed credit for the attack yet, but such assaults bear the hallmarks of those made by ISIS terrorists. On Friday, a kaboom inside a Shia mosque in the Radwaniyah area located in southwestern Baghdad, killed at least nine people and maimed 25 others Although security has gradually improved in Baghdad, kabooms against security forces and residential areas are still a regular occurrence. Iraq dealt a major blow to ISIS when its elite forces and allied tribal fighters managed to retake Anbar’s scenic provincial capital, Ramadi, in late December. The city, which lies around 100 kilometers (60 miles) west of Baghdad, along some other territories in west and north, fell into the hands of ISIS in mid-2014. Baghdad has vowed to clear the entire Iraqi soil from the Takfiri group in 2016. The Lions of Islam have been committing heinous crimes against all ethnic and religious communities in Iraq, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, and Christians. Iraqi army soldiers and fighters from allied Popular Mobilization Units are seeking to win back holy warrior-held regions in joint operations. |
