The November 2010 Baghdad bombings were a series of attacks in Baghdad, Iraq that killed more than 110 people.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

At least 17 explosions occurred in the attacks, 48 hours after the 2010 Baghdad church massacre[12] where 58 people were killed by a suicide bomber in a Baghdad church.[13] While the Islamic State of Iraq did not officially claim responsibility for the attack, a U.S. military spokesperson alleged that ISI-affiliated fighters might have carried out the attacks.[14] The majority of the explosions occurred in populated areas, including near restaurants.[15] At least 15 were killed in one attack, in Sadr City.[citation needed]
