What? 

Islamic state killed 75 people in Baghdad with two bombing incidents.



How? 

First a suicide car bomb exploded near a shopping area on Saturday, in the district of Karrada.

Second bomb blasted in a predominantly Shia area in Baghdad.



Why? 

These bombing were considered to be a retaliation from ISIS, because the Iraqi forces recaptured the city of Falluja from the ISIS strong hold.

ISIS has been continually attacking civilians in Iraq to hinder the progress of the Iraqi forces from recapturing the territories that are held by them. ISIS still holds territories in the country's north and west.
