伊拉克官员表示,巴格达以北一个警察检查站星期三发生汽车自杀炸弹袭击,至少8人丧生,11人受伤。一天前,同一地区发生过一起类似袭击事件。

据报道,袭击者驾驶装有炸药的汽车在多数居民为什叶派的阿尔什蒂亚区的警察检查站引爆了炸弹。袭击发生后不久,伊斯兰国组织发表声明,表示对这次袭击负责。

在星期二的袭击中,汽车自杀炸弹袭击者在人群拥挤的蔬果市场附近引爆炸弹,至少12人丧生。警方被迫关闭了巴格达附近的一些主要公路。

伊斯兰国组织的袭击行动最近越来越频繁,促使美国国防部长卡特本周早些时候承诺向伊拉克增派560名美军官兵,协助打击伊斯兰国恐怖组织。

At least eight people were killed and 11 more wounded Wednesday after a suicide bomber exploded his car at a police checkpoint north of Baghdad, Iraqi officials said, just a day after a similar deadly attack took place in the same district.

The bomber reportedly slammed his car, which was loaded with explosives, into the checkpoint in northeastern al-Rashidiya district, a predominantly Shiite neighborhood. The Islamic State group released a statement shortly after the attack claiming responsibility.

In the attack Tuesday, at least 12 people were killed after a suicide car bomber blew himself up near a crowded fruit and vegetable market. Police were forced to shut down several major roads around Baghdad as a result of the attack.

IS attacks have occurred with more frequency as of late, which prompted U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter earlier this week to commit 560 more U.S. troops to Iraq to help fight the terrorist group.
