BAGHDAD — The Islamic State (IS) group has said it was behind a double suicide bombing in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, on Thursday that killed at least 32 people and wounded more than 100.
The target had been Shia Muslims, a statement from the Sunni Islamist militant group’s Amaq news agency said.
It was the biggest suicide attack in Baghdad for three years.
The bombers blew themselves up among a crowd of shoppers at a second-hand clothes market in Tayaran Square.
The admission by the jihadist group, made via its accounts on the messaging app Telegram, came several hours after the attack. (BBC)
