BAGHDAD – A truck bombing claimed by ISIS killed at least 67 people in a Shi’a-majority area of Baghdad Thursday, in one of the deadliest single attacks in the city in months.

The truck hit the Jameela market in the Iraqi capital’s crowded Sadr City neighborhood shortly after dawn, according to two local police officers. They said at least 152 people were wounded at the market, which is the main center for produce and food sales in Baghdad.

In separate attacks, at least 58 people were killed and more than 100 wounded on Monday in two blasts in eastern Iraq claimed by ISIS in Diyala province, which was once considered mostly free of the militants.

An explosion at a market in Huwaidar, about 2.5 miles north of the provincial capital of Baquba, killed 51 people and wounded at least 80, police and medical sources said.

A separate blast to the east of Baquba killed a further seven people and wounded 25. 

Iraqi PM Haider al-Abadi dismissed his cabinet secretary on Wednesday as part of an ambitious reform drive he said was under threat from corrupt politicians and militia leaders who use their armed followers for political ends.

Lawmakers unanimously voted on Tuesday to eliminate a layer of senior government posts, scrap sectarian and party quotas for state positions, reopen corruption investigations and give Abadi power to fire regional and provincial bosses.

The bold moves will strip some of Iraq’s most powerful people of official titles, including Abadi’s predecessor Nuri al-Maliki, whose post of vice president is one of those to be abolished.
