Shiites, Sunnis and Christians have gathered to pray for the victims of two bomb attacks in Baghdad. <br /><br /> Almost 120 people were killed and 200 wounded in the blasts, most of them in a busy shopping area in the largely Shi’ite district of Karrada, amid Ramadan celebrations.<br /><br /> Ali Mohammed, a tearful local resident, asked: “Is this Eid? Every Eid we celebrate. Is this our Eid that everybody celebrates? Is this the Eid we should celebrate? <br /><br /> “People came to buy clothes to celebrate Eid. Now they are buying coffins, they’re buying shrouds for the dead. May God punish those who are responsible.”<br /><br /> Hundreds of candles are lit now in Karrada area as people mourn the victims. #Baghdad #Iraq pic.twitter.com/ovCbDc1ak8— Hayder Al-Shakeri (@HayderSH) 3. Juli 2016<br /><br /> The second attack – a roadside bomb – struck a market in al-Shaab, a Shi’ite district in the north of the Iraqi capital. <br /><br /> Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has reportedly faced angry crowds in Karrada. The attack in this district is the deadliest since US-backed Iraqi forces dislodged ISIL from their stronghold of Falluja last month.<br />
