BAGHDAD – Suicide bombs at two marketplaces in Baghdad, one of them claimed by Islamic State, killed at least 20 people on Sunday, police and medics said, the latest in a spate of militant attacks in the Iraqi capital that have left dozens dead.
In the first blast, the attacker drove an explosives-rigged car into a large vegetable market in the mainly Shi’ite district of Jamila, and detonated it after security forces opened fire to try to stop the vehicle, police sources said.
