BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi security officials say a suicide bomber has attacked a soccer stadium south of Baghdad, killing 29 and wounding 60.
The security officials say the bombing Friday took place during a match in the small stadium in the city of Iskanderiyah, 30 miles (50 kilometers) from the capital. Medical officials confirmed the death toll. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the Islamic State group has been waging a campaign of suicide bombings in and around the capital as Iraqi forces and their allies battle the militants in the north and west of the country.

Mission Accomplished!
This the Iraqi Democracy promised us by Darth and Shrub.
This is W’s legacy as it continues to produce its rotten fruits.
Thanks W!
Q: Will there be demands that Obama rush home now from Republicans over this latest ISIS bombing and bloodshed of innocent lives?
A: Nahhhh. It way to far outside the Eurozone.
Ooops…looks like the President arrived home 5 hours ago.
And Rummy! Hey! Democracy - get outta here! Nobody said you wouldn’t get your hair mussed!
