Back-to-back suicide attacks on a market in central Baghdad killed 32 people and injured 110 on Thursday.
The two bombers detonated their explosives at a secondhand clothes market in the
Bab Al Sharji area, said Interior Ministry spokesman Brig Gen Khalid Al Muhana. He said many poor people use the outdoor market.
The first bomber claimed to be ill but when people gathered around him, he blew himself up, Brig Gen Al Muhana said. The second bomber set off his explosives when people rushed to the scene.
Health Minister Hassan Al Tamimi confirmed the death toll.
ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack in a message posted on the Telegram channel of its Amaq news agency early on Friday.
