Two car bomb attacks in the heart of the Iraqi capital Baghdad by Islamic State have killed at least 26 people and wounded dozens. Sources say, the first happened just after midnight yesterday at an ice cream shop in the Karrada district, where a crowd had broken their Ramadan fasts. <br/><br/>A few hours later there was a second blast near the Shuhada Bridge, about 6 kms to the north in Shawaka. IS said both bombings had targeted gatherings of Shia Muslims. The Sunni jihadist group considers them apostates subject to punishment by death.<br/>The attack comes as Iraqi troops are pushing IS fighters out of their last strongholds in the northern city of Mosul. Iraqi commanders say the offensive, which recently entered its eight month, will mark the end of the IS caliphate in Iraq, but concede the group will likely increase insurgent attacks in the wake of military defeats.
