A massive bombing by the Islamic State group outside a popular ice cream shop in central Baghdad and a rush hour car bomb in another downtown area killed at least 31 people on Tuesday, Iraqi officials said.

Later in the day, bombings in and around the Iraqi capital killed seven more people.

The attacks come as IS militants are steadily losing more territory to U.S.-backed Iraqi forces in the battle for Mosul, the country's second-largest city. The Sunni extremists are increasingly turning to insurgency-style terror attacks to distract attention from their losses.

If there was pavement there before, it's probably a rocky road now.

So ISIS killed other Muslims in the area because we invaded and killed Muslims in the area.

Sounds legit.

That sucks - so ISIS targeted him because his business was "western". So dumb.
