Bombs rock Baghdad - ISIS car bombs kill at least 89

Baghdad was the center of car bombings carried out by ISIS - there were two separate car bombs in which at least 89 people have been killed and over 50 injured. These are believed to be the worst single bombing of the year in the capital of Iraq.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 11 May 2016.

The explosions targeted the Kadhimiya and Jamea districts and killed at least 25 while a pickup truck, packed with explosives and disguised as fruit truck, slaughtered another 64 people in Sadr City. Most of the victims were women, and a large number of the injured, estimated to be around 50, are in critical condition.
The car bombing occurred in the Shi'ite Muslim district of Sadr City, Baghdad, and responsibility has been claimed by ISIS. The initial bombing took place outside a beauty salon in a packed marketplace in Sadr City and ISIS has claimed that it was the city's single worst bombing of 2016.
The second blast hit the entrance to Kadhimiya, a mostly Shi'ite Muslim district in the northwest of the Iraqi capital - it killed 18 and five of whom were policemen. There were another 34 wounded. The third bombing was on a commercial thoroughfare in a predominately Sunni district of western Baghdad - it killed seven and wounded 22.
