As reported, with reference to the reports of eyewitnesses Deutsche Welle, also about 80 were injured. At the same time, the Ministry of Health of Iraq reported 16 dead and 65 wounded.

At the moment, none of the terrorist organizations took responsibility for the attack.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, the terrorists of the organization "Islamic State" attacked the government military in the suburbs of Baghdad. As a result of shooting, seven people died, 16 more seriously injured. Law enforcers suggest that the attacks on the military are associated with the beginning of an operation to release the last stronghold of militants in Iraq - the city of Khavia.
