And once again we see the savages in the so-called “Religion of Peace” acting “Peacefully!”

At least 27 people were killed and 64 were gravely injured in a twin suicide bombing attack in central Baghdad, Iraq on Monday.

This makes it the deadliest attack so far this year in the Iraqi capital which is being rocked by attacks on a daily basis.
It’s been confirmed that two “peaceful” Islamists detonated their explosive vests in Tayaran Square. Tayaran Square is a commercial district and meeting place for day laborers seeking work to feed their families in an economy that still hasn’t been able to bounce back. Sadly on this day scores of them were killed and injured.

Although Iraq did officially declare victory last month over ISIS militants who seized control of nearly a third of the country in 2014 thanks to the lax Obama Administration policies. Sleeper cells and splinter groups continue to carry out attacks and bombings in Baghdad and various parts of the country.

The attack in Tayaran Square, also known as Aviation Square, was one of the deadliest in Baghdad since a massive truck bomb killed at least 324 people in the nearby commercial district of Karrada in July 2016. The Karrada bombing was the deadliest single attack in Iraq since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein from power and gave way to severe lawlessness in the region which 14 years later is still struggling to recover.
