The Islamic State claimed responsibility for an attack in a crowded Baghdad market on Thursday, killing at least 32 people in Iraq’s first big suicide bombing for three years, authorities said, describing it as a possible sign of the reactivation of Islamic State.
France24 – Islamic State claimed early on Friday that two of its men blew themselves up in Tayaran Square in the centre of Baghdad, according to a statement posted on the group’s Telegram communications channel.
Reuters journalists arriving after the blasts saw pools of blood and discarded shoes at the site, a clothing market in Tayaran Square in the centre of the city. Health authorities said at least 110 people had been wounded.
“One (bomber) came, fell to the ground and started complaining ‘my stomach is hurting’ and he pressed the detonator in his hand. It exploded immediately. People were torn to pieces,” said a street vendor who did not give his name.
Suicide attacks, once an almost daily occurrence in the Iraqi capital, have halted in recent years since Islamic State fighters were defeated in 2017 with military support from the Trump Administration, part of an overall improvement in security that has brought normal life back to Baghdad.
I was hoping that our President Trump would put ‘draining the swamp’ the first item on his list. But, it is not too late. He is still here.
It is good to see the muslims killing each other. We need to let them have at it. 32 killed and over one hundred wounded is a good start. The problem is with jihadi Joe is the monsters will be coming to the US. I hate to say it but this is what the US has allowed as it allowed cheating to take the president’s position from Trump.I pray that the US defeats the democrates ASAP
Quran (3:151) – “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers…
The stability and safety of the entire world was shaken when Biden and Harris came to power. The result: Muslim terrorist attacks.
Biden and Harris plan to import millions of Muslims, among them will be massive numbers of Muslim terrorists resulting in daily jihad and many terror attacks in America.
Every Muslim terrorist and Muslim terrorist organization are CELEBRATING their Great Victory over America and the Free World.
Evil recognizes each other.
Bonni, it’s called geopolitics. There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only strategic interests. Let’s see the crimes of your country: 1) Korea 2) Vietnam 3) Bosnia 4) Kosovo 5) Afghanistan 6) Iraq 7) Libya 8) Syria
Now Biden might want to open a new chapter with….9) Pakistan, perhaps?
CIA = ISIS = US. Deep State = Some Democrats connected to the Clinton family. All play on the same team.
Biden-Kamala are just puppets who represent the rotten core of the US Deep State. That’s why I call your country the United Snakes.
&
Trump = Putin — that’s why ISIS disappeared during the Trump era

Let the games begin.
Is Ivanka going to run in 2024?
I don’t consider anything but Bosnia and Kosovo war crimes because we fought on the WRONG side.
Bonni, I agree with you. I served in Bosnia and Kosovo and quickly figured out we were on the wrong side of that conflict.
FtL, I was ill-informed back then as most of us here were. I didn’t learn about how wrong Clinton was until I started doing this blog and have done many posts about it.
Yes. we sure did fight on the wrong side supporting the muslims in Bosnia and Kosovo. The Clinton crime family had us on the wrong side as usual.
And still, I’d guess the majority of Americans don’t know that.
Next we will be importing them by the thousands .
