At least 33 people have been killed in three bomb attacks in Shia areas of Baghdad as residents distributed sweets for the Eid al-Ghadir Shia Muslim feast.
Monday’s attacks, at least two of which were carried out with suicide car bombs, happened in or near the frequently targeted, predominantly-Shia districts of Kadhimiyah and Sadr City, police said.
Al Jazeera's Imran Khan, reporting from Baghdad, said that the bombings followed a familiar pattern and ISIL, which is fighting in northern and western Iraq, has carried out many similar attacks in the last few months.
"No one has claimed the attacks but they do follow a pattern that are very familiar to us - when ISIL gets squeezed elsewhere they take out revenge with attacks in the capital."

Muslims killing Muslims.....works for me.
Pull out, seal it off and let them kill eachother. The Middle East is just not conducive to the 21st century. When the smoke settles, and a victor emerges. Isolate, embargo, and close all connections out of the region until they prove they are equal to basic humanity. But we won’t, and these things will start happening in Frankfurt, London and Chicago..
Should’ve drilled our own damn oil.
Yep..
