IS no longer a threat, says Iraq PM
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said that the Islamic State (IS) militant group no longer poses a threat to Iraq and dialogue to end the US-led international coalition to fight the IS group continues.
At least 19 people were killed and more than 24 wounded in a car bomb explosion at a crowded marketplace in Iraq on Tuesday, an official said.
The blast took place at 4 p.m. near a grocery market in the northern Iraqi city of Tuz Khurmatu, a police source told Efe news.
Iraqi government forces gained control over Tuz Khurmatu from Kurdish troops as part of a military offensive in October.
