Death Toll soars to 90 after IS bomb guts Iraq town says news

Quote

KHAN SAAD: Rescuers in the Iraqi town of Khan Bani Saad were searching collapsed buildings for bodies Saturday after a car bomb ripped through a busy market, killing at least 90 people. The suicide attack by the Islamic State group was one of the deadliest since it took over swathes of Iraq last year and came as the country marked Eidul Fitr, the Muslim festival that ends the fasting month of Ramazan.

Residents recounted scenes of horror in the aftermath of the attack, in which officials said at least 15 children were killed. Muthanna Saadoun, a municipal employee whose work is to drive a street sweeper, used his truck to help put out the fires that the huge blast caused in the market area.

“People were burning in their cars because no ambulances or fire engines were able to reach them,” the 25-year-old said.

IS said the suicide attacker had three tonnes of explosives in his vehicle. The crater the explosion left in the main street of the town's central Khan neighbourhood was 16 feet wide and more than six feet deep. Several collapsed buildings were still smouldering 12 hours after the attack.

A child's toy elephant lay in the middle of the street as a defence ministry bulldozer shovelled the debris and cleaners swept blood-stained water.

~~“The toll so far is 90 ~~martyrs~~ and 120 wounded, and we have between 17 and 20 missing,”~~ Abbas Hadi Saleh, the top official in Khan Bani Saad, told AFP.
