[RUDAW.NET] Iraqi authorities say bombings targeting public places have killed 15 people in and around Baghdad.

Police officials say the deadliest attack occurred Saturday night when a boom-mobile went kaboom! on a commercial street in Baghdad's western neighborhood of Amil, killing nine people and wounding 24 others.

Earlier, police said a boom-mobile blast near a bus stop killed three people and maimed 15 in southern Baghdad. A bomb kaboom near an outdoor market killed three people in Mhamoudiya town, just south of Baghdad.

Hospital officials confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to news hounds.

Iraqi sees near-daily bombings that are often 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....
