ISIS claims responsibility for Baghdad blasts

Islamic State (ISIS) early Friday, January 22, claimed responsibility for twin suicide blasts on a commercial district in Baghdad the previous day that killed at least 32 people and wounded 110 others.

One ISIS suicide bomber targeted a group of shoppers and day laborers in Baghdad's al-Tayaran Square, and a second bomber detonated his explosives when a crowd gathered to help the wounded, NRT reported.

Iraq declared ISIS defeated in late 2017 but its sleeper cells continue to operate, usually in the country's desert zones and disputed areas.
