There are 55 people who were killed and more than 60 injured when a car bomb exploded in an auto dealership in Baghdad, Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to \u00a0their own news agency, Aamaq news, IS claimed responsibility for the bombing. They said that the attack was against Shiites, a rival Muslim sect.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been reported that various attacks are being carried out in Iraq\u2019s capital on a near-daily basis including other cities such as Mosul, where US-funded Iraqi forces are stationed. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the same day, another area in Baghdad was attacked killing 8 and injured at least 30 people.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is not the only IS-initiated attack for the day as the Sunni extremist group also claimed responsibility for the attack in Islamabad in Pakistan, where a suicide bomber blew himself up on a religious shrine killing 70 people and wounding 250 people. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, Pakistani authorities deny IS presence in the capital but confirmed that there are militant groups who are to be held accountable for the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

IS said that the attack was targeted towards Sufi\u2019s, another Muslim sect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pakistani authorities announced that this is the worst attack in the country in months.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
