A suicide bomber killed at least 29 people and injured at least 60 in an attack at a soccer stadium in central Iraq on Friday, according to the Associated Press.

The attack occurred in the town of Iskandariya, about 30 miles south of Baghdad. “The bombing came as Iraqi military spokesman Yahya Rusoul announced that Iraqi troops and Sunni tribal fighters recaptured the western town of Kubeisa from the Islamic State group,” the AP reports.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, CNN’s Arwa Damon reports.

The attack comes three days after the deadly ISIS bombings in Brussels that killed at least 34 people. After that attack, Belgium’s national team canceled its scheduled training session and moved next week’s friendly against Portugal to the Portuguese city of Leira.

4. Suicide bombings in Iraq happen very frequently

That's why there isn't really mass media coverage of such events. It is literally an almost monthly occurrence.

The concern in the US is this sort of normalization of terror attacks in Iraq will eventually become the norm in Europe and then the United States.

6. Go tell that to the families of the dead Iraqis

who know that this started with an illegal war and occupation.

It's the norm - WTF!!!

[oberliner]

7. Huh?

I don't understand your comment. I was trying to explain why the US media does not give as much coverage to suicide bombings in Iraq as they do to the one Brussels. It is because of how unusual it is in Brussels. Iraq is a very violent place, thanks, in large part, to the war we started over there.

10. It used to be unusual in Iraq as well

Now many people including M$Greedia see it as the norm. We created that mess

[oberliner]

12. Agreed

What can we do at this point to make it unusual again? Anything?

[malaise]

14. Start speaking the truth

and apologizing for our atrocities. We also need to punish the war criminals

[RedFury]

15. Agreed

It'd also help if you stayed the f*ck out.
