A recent spate of attacks in Iraq killed dozens of civilians and wounded many more as officials fear terrorist groups may be gaining ground once again.
In the latest news, a bomb-laden car exploded Oct. 13 in the center of Kirkuk, wounding eight people. This came on the heels of a week filled with bombings, including ones in Baghdad, Salahuddin and Anbar provinces. Baghdad was dealt the heaviest blow, as a series of bombings targeted the capital Oct. 7. Fallujah faced a terrorist bombing on Oct. 6, after a long period of stability there since Iraqi forces liberated it from the Islamic State (IS) in 2016.
