Iraq: 93 Killed in Deadliest Day in Baghdad This Year
-----------------------------------------------------

Wednesday marked the deadliest day in Baghdad so far this year as three
separate car bombs killed at least 93 people across Iraq's capital. ISIL
has claimed responsibility for all three attacks. The largest car bomb
killed 63 in a crowded market in the predominantly Shiite neighborhood
of Sadr City. Hours later, two more bombs exploded at police checkpoints
in different parts of the capital.
