While the Daesh Takfiri group has claimed responsibility for a Thursday car bomb explosion at a gas station in the Shomali village in suburbs of the city of Hilla h, located 120 kilometers southeast of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, a question has been raised over who are the real beneficiaries of the terrorist attack, which killed over 100 people mostly Shia pilgrims. The incident occurred at a time when buses packed with Shia pilgrims were returning from Arba’een mourning rituals in the holy city of Karbala.

Rasa - The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry renewed condemnation of a recent terrorist attack near the Iraqi city of Hilla that killed many people, including dozens of Iranians, saying the Islamic Republic is more resolved to fight Takfiri terrorists after the attack.
