Car Bombings Kill Dozens in Southern Iraq City

At least 32 people were killed on Sunday, May 1, in two suicide bomb attacks claimed by Islamic State in the southern Iraqi city of Samawa, reports said. At least 75 were left injured by the bombings, which took place outside a government building and at a bus station nearby. Islamic State took responsibility for the bombings, which it said were carried out against a group of special forces. Samawa lies about 225 km (140 miles) south of Baghdad.
