At least 28 people were killed and 73 were injured in the twin suicide bombings in a market in central Baghdad’s Tayaran Square. The attack is the first of its kind in years.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility; however, the country’s Civil Defense Chief Major Kadhim Salman told journalists that the Islamic State terrorist group might be behind the bombing.
This is the first attack of its kind in Baghdad since the defeat of the Islamic State group.
The last deadly suicide bombing in the capital killed at least 27 people in January 2018.
