2017-09-29
[Iraq News] An alcoholics seller was killed as an IED went kaboom! under his car in Baghdad, a source from Interior Ministry said.

"A bomb placed under a car of an alcoholics seller went kaboom! on Tuesday evening as he was passing in central Baghdad, leaving him immediately dead," the source told Baghdad Today.

Security troops, according to the source, transferred the victim to forensic medicine department and conducted investigations.

A similar accident occurred earlier this month when an alcoholics seller was killed by an bomb fitted beneath his car in northeast Baghdad.

Moreover, a tribal fighter and three of his family members were maimed earlier on the day in an armed attack in south of Baghdad, a security source said.

Speaking to Alghad Press, the source said, "unknown gunnies attacked house of a Tribal Fighter Mobilization personnel using hand grenade in al-Kargol region, south of Baghdad," the source said.

"The attack left the personnel and three of his family member maimed," he added.

Violence in the country has surged further with the emergence of 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....
