The Islamic State Of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have claimed responsibility for two attacks which claimed 26 lives in Baghdad, Iraq.
One of the explosions took place in Hay al-Amal today and the second attack occurred when a roadside bomb was detonated near a Shia shrine in Sadr City.
Today’s attacks come on the heels of a successful Kurdish offensive which retook the city of Sinjar from ISIL fighters today.
