Among all the terrorist attacks of 2016 worldwide, the Karrada bombing on July 3 stood as the year's deadliest. And yet to Westerners accustomed to news reports about violence in Iraq, it would be just another bombing in which the numbers, not the victims, would be front and center. Mohammed Mahdi alBadry was killed in the #Baghdad bombing on Saturday. #NotJustANumber started trending after the Karrada bombing as Iraqis, disappointed by the world's muted reaction to their tragedy, put up photographs of the friends and family they lost. Iraq's response to the Karrada bombing should be to unite against the terrorists, he said.
