Alwaght- A car bomb has hit Sadr City of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, killing at least 13 people and injuring 50 others at a vegetable market in eastern Baghdad on Sunday, police and medical sources said.
According to the the Interior Ministry's Baghdad Operations, a mine studded car exploded in the mainly Shiite-populated Jamila district of Sadr City.
The attacker drove the car through a gate to the market and detonated the bomb after security forces opened fire on the vehicle.
ISIS terrorist group claimed responsibility for the deadly attack in an online statement, saying the bomber had targeted "a gathering of Shiites" in the area.
A wave of terrorist attacks, claimed by ISIS, has hit Iraqi capital and other cities in the country just over a week.
ISIS has resorted to bomb attacks and similar tactics in Iraq as the terrorist group is driven out of its last stronghold in Iraq, Mosul.
Iraqi forces advanced to within several hundred meters of the Tigris river than runs through Mosul on Saturday.
