The power of the blast demolished several buildings in Khan Bani Saad located about 30-Km northeast of Baghdad. The victims were people who were celebrating the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The body pats are scattered all over the place and there are fears that the toll could rise.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 19 July 2015.
The Diyala provincial government has declared three days' mourning and has issued orders for all parks and entertainment places to close for the rest of the Eid al-Fitr holiday to pre-empt any further attacks.
Islamic State has revealed that the attack was to avenge the killing of Sunni Muslims in the northern Iraqi town of Hawija, and has added that the suicide car bomber was carrying around three tonnes of explosives.
