The string of car bombs in Baghdad occurred 5 days after ISIS Iraq’s Anbar province commander, known as Abu Wahib (pic-L), was killed on 05/06/2016, near Rutba, by an American aerial missiles attack . The Baghdad bombings are a sort of response to the killing of Abu Wahib to demonstrate the capabilities of I.S.I.S despite the ‘target killing’ campaign against its leadership .
