(ISIS) claimed on Sunday that one of its Death Eaters carried out a suicide kaboom in a Shiite mosque in Eastern Baghdad on Friday amid an uptick of Death Eater activity in Iraq.
Through telegram channels, ISIS claimed that a Death Eater named Abo Ali al-Ansari had carried out a suicide attack on a Shiite mosque in the al-Baladiyat neighborhood in eastern Baghdad.
There were conflicting reports about the number of casualties of the Friday bombing, and there are no definite numbers. Iraq’s Security Media Cell responsible for announcing security news was silent, while Saad Maan, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior, also was silent.
Rooters reported that seven people were maimed in the bombing.
AFP on its part reported that there were two killed civilians and nine individuals were maimed.
Sky News Arabia citing Iraqi media al-Sumeria claimed that seven Iraqis were killed in the suicide kaboom and more than 20 were maimed.
ISIS on its part claimed that the attack killed and injured more than 40 individuals in the bombing.
The bombing is part of the uptick in ISIS activity across the country. Despite the fact that the group was declared defeated in Iraq in December 2017 by former PM Haider al-Abadi.
Between 14,000 and 18,000 ISIS Death Eaters are estimated to still be operating in Iraq and Syria, according to a UN report in February.
