Bomb attack in Baghdad kills 19

BAGHDAD: A suicide bomber driving a car killed at least 19 people and wounded 48 others on Saturday in an attack claimed by Islamic State on a group of pilgrims in a southeastern suburb of Baghdad, Iraqi police sources said.

A second explosion near a militia checkpoint in the capital’s Dora district killed two and wounded three others, police sources said.

There was ** immediate claim of responsibility for that blast.

Amaq news agency, which supports Islamic State, said a fighter in the Nahrawan district had driven a truck loaded with three tonnes of explosives into the gathering of pilgrims.

They had been heading to Baghdad’s Imam Kadhim shrine to commemorate the 8th century death of one of senior figures.

Security has gradually improved in Baghdad, which was the target of daily bombings a decade ago, but attacks against both the security forces and civilians are still frequent.

Also on Saturday Islamic State militants launched an offensive near the **rthern town of Baiji, which Iraqi forces and militia fighters recaptured months ago along with a large oil refinery devastated by the conflict.

In the first set of attacks on Friday evening near Siniya west of Baiji, Islamic State seized four security checkpoints, according to sources in Salahuddin operations command.

The militants used car bombs, killing 11 members of the security forces and wounding 12 others.
