Baghdad, March 24 (RHC)-- At least 19 people have lost their lives and over 36 others sustained injuries in multiple car bomb blasts in the Iraqi capital Baghdad. According to officials, the deadliest car bombing on Monday rocked a busy commercial street in the al-Habibiya area of south-central Baghdad’s Sadr City, claiming at least nine lives and wounding 22 people.

Another car bombing hit a vegetable market in the Tarabya section, killing at least six people and injuring 14. Iraqi police also confirmed that a bomb went off near an intelligence branch of the Interior Ministry in northwestern Baghdad earlier Monday, killing four people.

There has been no claim of responsibility for Monday’s attack yet, however, Iraqi officials usually blame them on the Takfiri ISIL militants. Iraq’s overall security situation has deteriorated over the past few months as the ISIL terrorists, of whom many are foreign nationals, have taken control of some parts of the country’s northern and western regions.
