20 killed, injured in Baghdad Cafe bombing

 

 

At least four people were killed and several others wounded when a suicide bomber struck a cafe in Baghdad where people had gathered after breaking their daily Ramadan fast, police said Thursday.

 

"A suicide bomber blew up his explosive belt while he was surrounded by police near a public garden in Al-Shoala district," a mainly Shiite northern neighbourhood of the capital, a security forces statement said.

 

 

A police source said four people had been killed and 16 others wounded in the overnight bombing, including members of the security services

 

Images from the scene circulated on social media showed police vehicles with their bodywork damaged and windows blown out.

Abadi 'not' among four names floated for premiership post: Sources

May 24 2018 08:32 AM

Haider Abadi

 

Abadi will not be among the names tapped for Iraq premiership post, sources told The Baghdad Post.
According to them, Moqtada al-Sadr, who came in first in the Iraqi elections, will meet with cleric al-Sistani and reveal the four names tapped for the post.
"One of the nominees is a senior military commander, and the three other nominees don’t include Abadi," the sources noted.
Sadr came in the lead in Iraq legislative elections held last May 12th. The elections saw massive fraud and low turnout. 
Shia forces have been seeking to consolidate grip on the violence-shattered nation through this election.

Here's an article that says the opposite of the one you found.  I hope mine is true, but you never know with so many contradictory articles in Iraq.

Baghdad – Mawazine News

The coalition of victory led by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, on Thursday, denied the allegations of withdrawals from him, while stressing that Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, the favorite of the second term at the head of the government.

The coalition spokesman Hussein al-Adli said in a statement received by “Mawazine News” that “the competition and the conflict of agendas behind the allegations of the withdrawal of members of the victory and their joining other lists,” adding that “the coalition of victory and cohesive and successful understandings to form the largest bloc.”

He added that “all the news that suggest Abadi’s withdrawal or the nomination of an alternative to him is not true, which is a well-known source and agenda,” stressing that “Abadi is still the favorite of the second term.”

It is noteworthy that the media quoted a news group about the withdrawal of parliamentary bloc of virtue of the alliance victory and its joining the coalition of the rule of law led by Nuri al-Maliki.

That would be my question....is the Baghdad Post considered to be a credible news source?

smells of MALAKI mis-information

[jcfrag]

Bombs surely smell of Maliki’s discontent with the election outcomes. We know he is usually behind all things that dont include Maliki remaining in politics!! 😄
