The Baghdad attacks come just over a week after Iraqi forces declared the city of Fallujah “fully liberated” from IS. Here’s a look at the timeline of events showcasing how Baghdad has been repeatedly hit by terror activities this year. Over 83 people have been killed, and 179 others were injured in the twin blasts that shook Iraq’s capital Baghdad on Saturday. Iraq has been subjected to violent extremist attacks in the recent past, mostly by the Sunni fundamentalist group, Islamic State. Recently, Iraqi forces have racked up territorial gains against IS, retaking the city of Ramadi and the towns of Hit and Rutba, all in Iraq’s vast Anbar province west of Baghdad.
