Car bomb in Baghdad kills 14, wounds 30: Iraqi officials

It appears that ISIS is well on its way to owning the terror of Baghdad, Iraq with attack levels that may soon rival the heyday of al Qaeda in Iraq bombings there.

UPDATE:  Now I'm seeing reports that the death toll is 26 dead.

The story comes from Times of India.


Car bomb in Baghdad kills 14, wounds 30: Iraqi officials

BAGHDAD: An Iraqi police official in Baghdad says a car bomb detonated in front of a busy clothing store, killing 14 people and wounding 30.

The explosion happened in the predominantly Shiite district of New Baghdad late on Tuesday. A hospital official corroborated the casualties. Both spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to brief the media.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, however, the Islamic State group has been targeting Shiites across the country as it seeks to destabilize the Shiite-led government in Baghdad.
