At Least 121 Killed In Islamic State-Claimed Bombing In Baghdad - NPR
A bomb struck a busy street in Iraq's capital Baghdad, killing at least 121 people.
It exploded in the Karada neighborhood very early on Sunday, "where people were gathering to shop, socialize and watch soccer during a hot, lively Ramadan night," as NPR's Alice Fordham tells our Newscast unit. She adds that many people were sitting in sidewalk cafes where they had been watching a European soccer match.
Images from the scene show multiple charred buildings, burned-out cars and twisted metal. Civilians and rescue workers search for survivors and carry out bodies as family members of the missing wait for news.
At dawn on Sunday, hours after the attack, firefighters were "still working to extinguish the blazes and bodies were still being recovered from charred buildings," The Associated Press reports. It adds that many of those killed are children. - Read More
