An al-Qaeda affiliated group in Iraq has claimed responsibility for a series of bombings that killed dozens of people across Baghdad Province.
In a statement released late on Monday, the al-Qaeda-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, took responsibility for the bombings which “simultaneously hit selected targets.”
On Monday, at least 55 people were killed and over a hundred injured in a series of car bomb explosions across the Baghdad Province.
Iraqi security and medical officials said the Monday blasts mainly struck Shia-majority areas of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
