A SUICIDE CAR bomb attack in a densely-populated neighbourhood of Baghdad has killed at least 32 people and left dozens wounded today, police and hospital officials have said.
Many of the victims were daily labourers waiting for jobs at an intersection in Sadr City, a sprawling majority Shiite neighbourhood in the northeast of the capital that has been repeatedly targeted.
Pictures posted on social media shortly after the explosion showed a huge plume of black smoke billowing into the sky and seriously injured people being evacuated.
According to a police colonel, at least 32 people were killed and 61 wounded in the blast, the second major attack in Baghdad in three days.
At least 27 people were killed by twin explosions in a busy market area in central Baghdad on Saturday, in what was the deadliest such attack in the Iraqi capital in two months.
Islamic State
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility both attacks.
The jihadist organisation took responsibility for today’s blast in Sadr City via its propaganda agency Amaq, claiming the “martyrdom operation” had killed around 40 people.

Numpties Imnotrodten, Numpties.
@Imnotrodten: Ask Shinners. They refused to condemn such behaviour.
If this was 30 years ago and England not turkey then you might be correct
@Imnotrodten: Obama ?
AKA Benn Swan patches together some clips to criticise the US administration, ignoring entirely the role played by KSA and Qatar, the rise of political Islamism, the radicalisation of generations because of US policy in the middle East. Certainly not “everything you wanted to know”.
How come there are no Sunni Clerics coming out condemning all this?.When will all this madness end.
They are. It just does not get reported by the mainstream leftist MSM or the alt-right Media. But it also has to be remembered there is no hierarchy in Sunni Islam and there is no commonality of understanding or belief about what is acceptable and what is not. And for every Sunni cleric who condemns terrorism there is a Sunni cleric who applauds it. Oh and to be a Sunni cleric you don’t need any scholarship or training. Just a following.

The picture and the story bear no relation to each other ?
When will this ever end…. RIP
them lads are easily led
They see the Shia as heretics Their faith is very real in this being will of Allah…… Hard for western mindset to grasp that
Blind faith plus brainwashed is not that hard to grasp

Iraq and Syria are finished and for that we can partly blame the west. However what is happening with I.s. group is inexplicably leading some to falsely compare them to all Qaeda when the truth is they have a totalitarian agenda and have to be stopped at any cost since they seek the destruction of the west.
