The Islamic State claimed responsibility for a double suicide bombing in Baghdad this week that killed at least 32 people and wounded more than 100.

The attack, which was carried out by two men on Thursday, struck a busy market near Tayaran Square in the central part of the Iraqi capital. It was the first such bombing since 2018 as ISIS began to lose its territorial caliphate in Iraq and Syria.
