巴格达发生致死性自杀式爆炸

Bombings in Baghdad early Sunday killed at least 124 people and wounded at least 180 others.

周日早些时候发生在巴格达的几次爆炸导致124人死亡，180人受伤。

A suicide truck bombing happened shortly after midnight at a busy shopping area in the Karrada district. At least 119 people died and 170 were wounded. It was the deadliest attack in the Iraqi capital this year.

刚过午夜，一辆自杀式卡车爆炸发生在卡拉达区一个繁忙的商业区。至少119人死亡，170人受伤。这事今年发生在伊拉克首都死亡人数最多的一次袭击。

The Islamic State terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack. It said it had targeted Shi’ite Muslims, which it considers heretics.

“伊斯兰国”恐怖组织宣称对此次袭击负责。他们称已经将目标锁定为其认为是异教徒的什叶派穆斯林。

The bombing happened after sundown, when many people were in the streets after a day of fasting. Many Muslims go to shopping areas before the holiday marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

爆炸发生在日落后，此时许多人在一天的斋戒后来到街上。在回教斋月标志结束前许多穆斯林去商业区。

A second attack took place in the northern Shaab area of Baghdad. At least five people were killed and 16 were wounded when a bomb exploded. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.

第二次袭击发生在挨个打北部的夏巴区。当一颗炸弹爆炸时，至少5人死亡，16人受伤了。目前还没有人宣称对此次袭击负责。

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi visited the site of the bombing hours after the attack. 

伊拉克总理海德尔·阿巴迪在此次袭击发生几小时后视察了爆炸现场。

The attacks on Sunday took place about a week after Iraqi forces forced Islamic State militants out of Fallujah, which is 50 kilometers west of Baghdad.

周日的这次袭击发生在伊拉克军队将“伊斯兰国”武装分子赶出位于巴格达西50公里的费卢杰约一周后。
