BAGHDAD

  • An MoI source says a car bomb exploded in Kadhimiya in north east Baghdad, killing 3 people and injuring 10.

DaeshDaily Comment: This attack shows that “holding the ground” is not necessarily an effective strategy against Daesh. Kadhimiya is the holiest Shia area in Baghdad, and one of the holiest in the world. It is heavily guarded by all kinds of security forces and militias and the majority of its residents are Shia. That didn’t prevent Daesh, and AQI before that, from targeting it several times. Moreover, Daesh’s “ideology” is moving towards Baghdad every day. Recent Daesh videos show younger and more educated people from north Baghdad joining Daesh. These are not like the Daesh terrorists who graduated from Bucca Prison. If one out of ten young Sunni young men joins Daesh it could be disastrous.

  • A Shia MP says the calls to establish “Sumer Republic”, a Shia state, in Iraq are not appropriate. Many online Shia activists are calling for this “state,” reflecting their lack of trust and the disappointment with the current political system.
