Third Baghdad car bomb in three days kills at least 39

Date:

A car bomb exploded in Baghdad for the third day running today, killing at least 16 people in a southern neighbourhood, an interior ministry official said. The blast rocked the same Bayaa neighbourhood where a car bomb had already killed four people on Tuesday, the official told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to talk to the press.

At least 11 people were also killed in a suicide car bomb attack claimed by the Islamic State jihadist group yesterday in a northern neighbourhood of the Iraqi capital. Baghdad was rocked by a wave of deadly suicide bombings during the first days of 2017 but relatively few explosions had been reported since then until this week.
