    IS takes responsibility for Baghdad shopping-mall attack
  • The jihadist group Islamic State (IS) took responsibility for the attack on the Baghdad shopping centre where 18 people were killed.

    The Sunni Muslim jihadist organisation, which commands extensive swathes of northern and western Iraq, said it had attacked "rejectionist heathens" - its pejorative term for Shia Muslims.

    The police officials are still trying to determine if any of the attackers escaped.

  • Amidst the attacks, confusion spread in trying to ascertain if the attackers had taken any hostages.

    Lt. Gen. Abdul-Amir al-Shammari, head of the Iraqi military's Baghdad Operations Command, denied claims that militants took any captives.

    However, an anonymous police captain said "the gunmen seized some of the mall patrons and clashed with police forces before detonating explosives."

    Was it a knee-jerk reaction to Ramadi fall?
    Credits:
  • Military sources in Baghdad feel that the IS frustrated with the fall of Ramadi a few weeks ago was driven to wage these multiple attacks in the heart of Baghdad.

    The sources said: "The enemy is using new tactics because of our recent victories [against them] in Ramadi and other areas. They are trying to distract the forces by carrying out attacks inside Baghdad."
