BAGHDAD
At least twenty people were killed and 25 others were wounded after two bomb laden cars exploded in the Iraqi capital Baghdad on Saturday.
According to Iraqi security officials, it is not known who or which groups conducted the attack, which targeted a gas station in the Al-Amil district.
Since mid-June, fighting in Iraq has been pitting the Iraqi army and Kurdish peshmerga forces against ISIL militants, who have taken control of Mosul, Iraq's second largest city.
ISIL is currently in control of large swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria.
The U.S. is leading an international coalition, which includes France, Germany, and Saudi Arabia, among others, and has carried out numerous airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq and Syria.
According to the U.N., an estimated 1.8 million citizens have been internally displaced this year throughout Iraq.
