Iraqi security forces blew up a car bomb headed to Baghdad's Shia-populated Kadhimiya district, hence preventing a terror attack, the security forces' Baghdad operations command said Saturday.
Earlier in the day, the ISIS terrorist group outlawed in Russia and many other countries claimed responsibility for conducting a twin terrorist attack, which hit central Baghdad during the morning rush hour, claiming lives of at least 28 and injuring 54 people.
"Provided with the intelligence data, Iraqi forces in the northern sector of Baghdad followed a car bomb driven by two suicide bombers to Kadhimiya district for a terror attack and managed to trap and undermine the car, killing the terrorists. In addition, the security forces defused bombs in several Baghdad's southern districts," the statement said.
