An Islamic State terror attack in Baghdad killed 13 and wounded 50. 

At least 13 people were killed and approximately 50  injured in a suicide bomb attack on Sunday morning in eastern Baghdad.  The Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The attack reportedly took place during a food rush at a vegetable market in eastern Baghdad ,according to police and medical sources, and primarily struck the predominant Shiite district of Jamila. This was later confirmed by an online statement from the terrorist group.

ISIS, an extremist Sunni sect, views Shiites as infidels.
