A street sweeper died of his wounds in Baghdad yesterday hours after finding a bomb in a bag placed outside a liquor store in the Iraqi capital.
Issa Khamis "was doing his job and wanted to remove the bag and clean the street", activists said on social media.
This is the latest attack on venues that serve alcohol in the city, with three separate simultaneous bombs exploding in the west of the city on 15 December causing material damages, the Iraqi security media cell said.
According to local media, security officials believe "the bombings are no longer the same as before and are limited to stun grenades designed to scare the owners of the liquor stores or nightclubs and force them to pay this or that group a monthly sum of money."
According to Al-Monitor, a group calling itself People of the Good issued a statement on 14 December calling on Iraqi security forces to stay away from liquor shops.
