BAGHDAD: Car bomb attacks in Baghdad and the Iraqi province of Diyala, mostly claimed by the Islamic State (IS) militant group, have killed at least 30 people, police and medical sources said Wednesday.
The deadliest of the attacks was in the Iraqi capital’s eastern district of Baghdad al Jadida, a predominantly Shia area that has been one of the most targeted by car bombs in recent years.
At least 19 people were killed and 43 wounded when a car bomb exploded near a market there on Tuesday, a police colonel and hospital sources said.
