Dozens of people have been killed in bombings across Baghdad in recent months. In August, at least 67 people died in a car bombing in the crowded Jameela market in the predominantly Shia district of Sadr City. Sunni jihadists from Islamic State - the group that controls large swathes of Iraq - said they carried out that attack.
