BAGHDAD: A suicide bomber blew himself up in a commercial street of Baghdad on Sunday, killing seven and wounding 28, according to police sources.
The explosion happened in Iskan, a mostly Shia district in the west of the Iraqi capital. Islamic State has stepped up bomb attacks in government-held areas this year as it loses territory to US-backed Iraqi forces and Iranian-backed Shia militias.
The Sunni group continues to control vast areas in northern and western Iraq, including the city of Mosul, captured in 2014.
