Iraq conflict: Shia 'reprisals' after bomb kills 20 in cafe

It happen on a Monday in a cafe which killed 20 people in Muqdadiya. Also on on that monday local Sunnis were murdered, and the shops they owned and homes were destroy. One of the groups is call Jihadist Islamic State (IS) which they often target Iraqi Shia, said it was behind the cafe blasts. Also on that monday in the evening, IS militants killed 18 people at a shopping centre in a predominantly Shia eastern district of the capital called Baghdad. Some person called Mr Abbadi said the murderous attacks were a hopeless attempt by the group to compensate for setbacks it had suffered on the battlefield. But these murderous bombings are enraging sectarian tensions in sensitive mixed areas, says the BBC's Jim Muir in Baghdad. The double bombing at Muqdadiya cafe killed about 20 people who were mostly Shia militiamen who were from the paramilitary Popular Mobilisation forces who were battling IS in western and northern Iraq. Later that day the Shia militiamen had later gone on a riot against Sunnis in Muqdadiya, summarily which killed at least three men form the central al-Asiri district. Also they blew up seven houses that day in al-Asiri and they also set fire to about 36 shops in their main market. They didn't stop there they also set fire to six Sunni mosques across the town. The Shia militias in Iraq have also been accused of killing and kidnapping of some Sunni civilians since IS seized control of large swathes in Iraq in June 2014. Then on Tuesday about four people were killed in a bombing which was a suicide bombing.

My reaction to this is that I'm angry because they are killing people who have done nothing and its just upsetting that they killed people for fun. Which it also makes me mad is that the these people who died you don't know if they were married and had kids, or it was kids getting killed. Let me said who ever these people were they had family that will never get to see them again.
