Baghdad Car Bombs Kill 23
2014-10-18
[AnNahar] Car bombs went kaboom! in three crowded areas of the Iraqi capital Friday, killing at least 23 people, the latest in a string of deadly blasts in the city, officials said.

One boom-mobile hit Baladiyat in eastern Baghdad, killing at least 13 people, security and medical officials said.

A second struck Adhamiyah in the north, killing at least five, and a third, in the central Karrada district, left at least five more dead.

The bombings also maimed more than 50 people.

Militants led by the powerful 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 have seized large areas of Iraq since June, and Iraqi security forces are still struggling to regain ground.

The bandidos snuffies have been kept from reaching Baghdad in force and would face major challenges if they tried to occupy part of the city, but they are able to carry out deadly bombings with impunity.

Bombings in and around Baghdad killed at least 26 people Thursday, while a suicide boom-mobile on Tuesday killed 28 people, among them an MP who was also a senior Shiite militia commander.
