CRI听力:Up to 97 Killed, 133 Wounded in Massive Truck Bombing in Iraq's Diyala

2015-07-19来源:CRI

The death toll from a truck bomb blast has risen to 97 at a busy marketplace in Iraq's eastern province of Diyala on Friday.

The attack occurred when a truck loaded with tons of explosives detonated as hundreds of people were crowded at a popular market at the town of Khan Bani Saad, northeast of Baghdad.

The blast has also left 133 others injured and 23 others missing.

About a dozen shops and civilian vehicles have been destroyed.

Authorities are investigating media reports that the huge blast was carried out by a suicide bomber, which is the style of the Islamic State militant group which has seized large parts of Iraq.
