Iraq Bombings

A United Nations agency said it has discovered five bombs in a wall of Mosul's iconic Al-Nuri mosque, planted years ago by Islamic State group jihadists, during restoration work in the northern Iraqi city.

A military base in central Iraq, which was housing army troops and pro-Iranian paramilitaries, was hit with "bombing" overnight amid spiralling tensions between Israel and Iran, reports suggest. The US military has denied any role in the attack.

A "bombing" killed one person and wounded eight others at a military base in central Iraq overnight Friday, an interior ministry source said.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards launched missile attacks on "terrorist" targets in Syria in retaliation for twin suicide bombings in Iran this month for which the Islamic State group claimed responsibility, state media reported.

At least 10 people were killed and 14 others wounded in an attack with roadside bombs and gunfire on a vehicle and rescuers in Iraq's eastern Diyala province on Thursday evening, two security sources said.

An Iraqi court on Thursday sentenced an Islamic State group member to death after convicting him of involvement in a 2014 suicide bombing that killed 17 pilgrims, the judiciary said.

Iraq has hanged three people convicted for a 2016 bombing that killed more than 320 people in a Baghdad shopping district and was claimed by the ISIS group, the Prime Minister's office said on Monday.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhemi announced Saturday the arrest of a "terror cell" behind a Baghdad market bombing that killed dozens and was claimed by the Islamic State group.

Iraq was in mourning on Tuesday for at least 36 people killed when a bomb ripped through a crowded Baghdad market in what the Islamic State group's jihadists claimed as a suicide attack.

A rare twin suicide bombing killed 32 people and wounded 110 at a crowded market in central Baghdad on Thursday, Iraq's government said, the city's deadliest attack in three years.

At least eight people were killed and 15 wounded in a suicide bombing at a market in eastern Baghdad on Thursday, a security official said.

The forces of the ISIS may no longer control a swath of territory across Iraq and Syria, but the coordinated attacks in Sri Lanka demonstrated that the resilient group can still sow carnage beyond the borders of its former caliphate.

Suicide bombing is a method of terrorism deployed largely in conflict areas such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine, but it now seems to be making in-roads into Kashmir.

At least eight people were killed and 12 wounded in a suicide car bomb attack on a security checkpoint in western Iraq, the local mayor said on Wednesday.

The Islamic State is creeping back into parts of central Iraq just seven months after the government declared victory in the war against the group, embarking on a wave of kidnappings, assassinations and bombings that have raised fears a new cycle of insurgency is starting again.
