Baghdad Car Bombings Kill at Least 9, Wound 30; IS Focus in Its Caliphate Cuts Baghdad Bombings

Car bomb explosions on two commercial streets in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad killed at least nine people and wounded more than 30 others today (April 27, 2015), the Newsmax website reports.

One of the bombs struck Mansur in West Baghdad, while the other hit Amil in the capital's south.

Bombings and shootings in Baghdad were once a daily occurrence, but have declined since the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group launched a major offensive last June, seizing control of large areas north and west of the capital, and calling this land an Islamic caliphate.

That has tied down the IS radical group to its seized land, thus reducing its terrorist activities in Baghdad.
