group has grabbed credit for back-to-back suicide kabooms in central Baghdad that killed at least 38 people.

In an online statement issued on Wednesday, IS says the bombers targeted a gathering of Shiites in the Iraqi capital's Tayaran Square on Monday morning. The attack struck as laborers and street vendors filled the square during the morning rush hour. More than 100 people were maimed.

In statement on Thursday, IS also grabbed credit for Saturday's attack when, according to Iraqi officials, a jacket wallah hit a police checkpoint in northern Baghdad, killing 10 people and wounding 10.
