A trio of bombings rocked the Iraqi capital of Baghdad Wednesday, killing at least 66, with the Islamic State terror group claiming responsibility for all three of the bloody attacks.
In the Kadhima district, a suicide car bombing killed at least 16 and wounded 37. Iraqi police and hospital officials told The Associated Press that five policemen were among those killed.
In western Baghdad, a suicide car bomb in the neighborhood of Jaimma killed 10 and wounded 25.
And in the predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City, a car bomb ripped through a commercial area, killing at least 40 people and wounding 60 others, the producer reported.
The Sadr City bomb struck a crowded outdoor market and several of the wounded are in serious condition, prompting fears the death toll could rise further, officials said. Four medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to talk to reporters.
