Sadr City

Turkey on July 20 "strongly condemned" the "treacherous" terror attack in Baghdad that left at least 30 people dead and 60 injured.

Protesters began gathering in Baghdad's Sadr City district late on Oct. 7 after overnight clashes with security forces spread to the vast, poor swath of the Iraqi capital for the first time killing 15 people.

Masked men in military and police uniforms kidnapped 18 Turkish workers and engineers in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on Sept. 2. Turkish nationals were selected from a group of workers during the incident, the Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tanju Bilgiç told reporters. 

At least 60 people were killed and 200 wounded in a bomb attack on August 13 at a market in Baghdad's Sadr City district, police and medical sources said, in one of the largest attacks on the capital since Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi took office a year ago.
