What does a city look like after it's been terror-attacked?
More than 250 people died in Saturday's suicide bombings in Baghdad and the number of wounded has risen to 150. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack. In the wake of the devastation, Iraq's interior minister Mohammed al-Ghabban resigned, citing security failure as a reason for the attack. It's said to be the deadliest such attack on Iraqi soil since the 2003 US-led invasion.
