It happen on a Thursday morning in a popular Baghdad food market killing at least 67 people. The "police officials said, in on of the deadliest single blasts in the Iraqi capital in years". Also nearly 152 people were wounded at the market which was the main centre for food and produce sales in Baghdad. Right after the accident residents of the Shiite community rush to the scene of the accident carrying the dead people in trash bags and sending the wounded people to the closest hospital. The truck that caused the explosion was a refrigeration truck, so it was hard to distinguish it from the other trucks that were delivering produce to the market. At first no one step forward to claim that it was them who did it "but Islamic State militants commonly target military checkpoints or predominantly Shiite neighborhoods such as Sadr City, with the goal of sending a message to the Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad."

My reaction to this horrific scene is just why would somebody want to harm innocent people. Its so crazy just to see how many people were injured and killed, 67 people died and 152 were injured. And this article makes you think it could have been children who got killed, women, and men. Also the market place was a main centre for food and produce sales in Baghdad, where will they go to get food for the week because its says in the article "The blast incinerated much of the market, leaving charred wooden market stalls and scattering fruits and vegetables far around it." Further more, in the article one of the officers said "On Thursdays the market is especially crowded because people come from the other provinces to stock up on food for the weekend." I just wondered what was going on in the person mind when he set the explosion off.
