Saturday’s attack, one of the deadliest in the Iraqi capital this year, took place in Karrada, a district packed with shops and restaurants. It was the latest in a series of similar bombings in Baghdad. It killed 15 people and wounded 51, a police colonel told AFP on Sunday, revising an earlier toll of 14 dead and 39 injured. ISIS radio Al-Bayan said the jihadist group carried out the attack and targeted a Shiite militia helping Iraq’s government forces fight the extremist militants.
