In Iraq, seven people were killed and 28 wounded when a suicide bomber blew himself up in a commercial street of Baghdad today. The ultra-hardline Sunni group claimed the attack in Iskan, a mostly Shi'ite district in the west of the Iraqi capital. The militants' Amaq news agency said the bombing targeted members of the Badr Organisation, the most powerful Iraqi Shi'ite militia, which is backed by Iran.<br/><br/>Islamic State has intensified bomb attacks in government-held areas of Iraq this year as it loses territory to U.S.-backed Iraqi forces and Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias.
