At least four people are dead after a motorcycle rigged with explosives went off in the center of Iraq’s southern city of Basra Tuesday.
The blast set ablaze two other vehicles and sent a column of black smoke into the sky. The governor of Basra, Asaad al-Idani, told reporters on the scene that a motorcycle had exploded, quickly blaming militants from the Islamic State group.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the morning attack at the time of this notice.
