Islamic State (IS) terrorists have claimed responsibility for an attack that killed at least 15 people at an Iraqi wedding celebration in the Shiite city of Kerbala last night, the Christian Headlines website reports today (August 30, 2016).
The attack consisted of a suicide bomber as well as five other terrorists who attacked the wedding-goers with grenades and machine gun fire.
All of the attackers have been apprehended by authorities.
The attack is believed to be retaliation for IS' loss of ground in Fallujah and other parts of Iraq. Although Iraqi and U.S.-backed forces are pushing the terrorists out of land they once controlled, IS still maintains a fierce presence in Iraq.
