BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Suicide bombs at two marketplaces in Baghdad, one of them claimed by Islamic State, killed at least 20 people on Sunday, police and medics said, the latest in a spate of militant attacks in the Iraqi capital that have left dozens dead.
In the first blast, the attacker drove an explosives-rigged car into a large vegetable market in the mainly Shi'ite district of Jamila, and detonated it after security forces opened fire to try to stop the vehicle, police sources said.
A suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest blew himself up a few hours later at a market in the mostly Shi'ite Baladiyat district.
The first blast killed 13, and the second blast killed seven people. More than 50 were wounded.

(26,060 posts)That doesn't change the facts that he and dick can't be blamed for the fact that the war merely took a Sunni dictatorship and got rid of their ability to keep down and murder their Shia majority population. They wanted to kill each other long before we got there.
