This attack could not have been more perfidious.
On Thursday morning, a man faked a fit of weakness in the popular Tayaran market in central Baghdad.
When he is surrounded by people, he sets off a bomb.
But that's not enough.
No sooner have numerous helpers rushed over and the ambulance arrived than a second suicide bomber blows himself up.
32 people are killed and at least 110 injured - many so severe that the Iraqi Ministry of Health fears the death toll may rise.
So far, no organization has committed to the attack.
But the Iraqi security authorities assume that the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS) is behind it.
An attack in Baghdad in the middle of the pandemic and the severe economic crisis would fit the tactics of IS.
The terrorist militia wants to promote the destabilization of Iraq by all means.
In the chaos, she wants to act as a force for order and once again proclaim an Islamic state.
That is the IS calculation.
He practiced it in Syria with his ascent in 2014 and that should be repeated in Iraq and in other countries as well.
