A suicide bombing claimed by the ISIL terorist group ripped through shops in eastern Baghdad on Monday, killing at least seven people, Iraqi security and medical officials said.

The blast in the area of Jadida in Baghdad also wounded at least 32 people, started fires in some shops and scattered debris across the street.

White smoke poured from a series of shops that sold perfume, and the partially burned remains of a car sat in the street nearby.

ISIL issued a statement claiming the attack.

ISIL frequently carries out suicide bombings in Iraq, both as part of terrorist operations and targeting civilians.
