30 people killed in central Iraq suicide bombing

A suicide bombing in central Iraq has reportedly killed at least 30 people and wounded 100 others. Iraqi security authorities say a woman detonated explosives at a market in Musayyib yesterday. A news agency linked to the Islamic State militant group said the organization claims responsibility for the attack. <br/><br/>Earlier, a man blew himself up at a bus terminal about 20 kilometers east of Karbala, also in central Iraq. Four people were injured. The terminal is said to be frequently used by Shia pilgrims heading to a sacred site in Karbala. <br/><br/>A series of terrorist attacks have occurred around the world since the start of the holy month of Ramadan. On Wednesday, armed men thought to be members of the Islamic State group stormed Iran's Parliament and the mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini. 17 people were killed.
