Thursday, 32 people were killed and 110 others were wounded in two suicide bombings in central Baghdad, according to a new toll released by the Iraqi News Agency.

A statement by the Iraqi Interior Ministry stated that a suicide bomber first detonated himself in a market selling used clothes in Tayaran Square in the center of the capital, "after he claimed that he was sick and people gathered around him."

It added that the second suicide bomber blew himself up "after people gathered to take the victims who were wounded in the first bombing."

No party has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. Daesh, which for years controlled large parts of Iraq, often utilized suicide bombing as a tactic. Iraqi forces succeeded in eliminating the organization at the end of 2017, but cells from it are still active in some areas far from cities. The last time a large-scale attack happened in Baghdad was in June 2019. It left several dead.

The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs condemned the bombing, which the ministry’s spokesperson, Ambassador Dhaifallah Ali Al-Fayez said aims to destabilize security and stability and is inconsistent with religious and humanitarian values and principles.

He also expressed the Kingdom's solidarity and friendship with Iraq, and expressed his condolences to the families of the victims, the people of Iraq, and the government. 

In a telegram to Iraqi President Barham Salih, the Pope, who intends to visit Iraq in March, said he was "confident that everyone will seek to overcome violence with brotherhood, solidarity and peace."
