Suicide bl@st k!lls 29 at Iraq football stadium; ISIS claims responsibility
2:48 PMNearly 60 other people were reported hurt.
Fox News has learned ISIS immediately claimed responsibility for the bl@st. The terr0r group also said it was behind the b0mbings in Belgium Tuesday, which k!lled 31 people and wounded 270 others.
Security officials tell the AP Friday's b0mbing took place during a match in the small stadium in the city of Iskanderiyah, 30 miles from Baghdad. Medical officials confirmed the de@th toll.
The b0mbing came as Iraqi military spokesman Yahya Rusoul announced that Iraqi troops and Sunni tribal fighters recaptured the western town of Kubeisa from ISIS. The assault was part of operations aimed at rolling back the militants in Iraq's Sunni-majority Anbar province after government forces retook the provincial capital of Ramadi in February.
