Vendor dies in bombing attack at Kreyaat region

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) An alcoholics seller was killed Wednesday when an explosive device fitted beneath his car exploded in northeast Baghdad, according to security sources.

According to security source speaking to Baghdad Today, the explosion took place at Kreyaat region, northeast of the capital. Perpetrators and motives have not been unveiled yet, but attacks against alcoholics stores have been rampant at Iraq’s religiously conservative regions over the past years.

Iraq’s parliament banned the import selling and manufacturing of alcoholics in October 2016, to the dismay of several personal freedoms activists.

An earlier law in 2001 had conditioned that alcoholics sellers be non-Muslims, Iraqi nationals and not less than 21 of age.

The Iraqi capital has seen almost daily bombings and armed attacks against security members, paramilitary troops and civilians since the Iraqi government launched a wide-scale campaign to retake Islamic State-occupied areas in 2016. While most of of the explosions and attacks went without a claim of responsibility, Islamic State has claimed several incidents.
