More than 50 people were killed in a triple bombing that targeted a tent filled with mourners in Baghdad's Shia Muslim stronghold of Sadr City on Saturday, police and medical sources said.

Police said a car bomb went off near the tent where a funeral was being held, a suicide bomber driving a car then blew himself up, and a third explosion followed as police, ambulances and firefighters were gathering at the scene. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, in which at least 100 others were wounded, medics said.

A Reuters reporter said distraught survivors had attacked policemen and firefighters who tried to move them away from the scene. Puddles of blood surrounded the tent.

The last explosion is always the worst because those bastards target the people trying to help the wounded.

How the fuck do they keep getting explosives?

Its like some of these people are just born with one purpose in life to create some fucking explosive out of thin air and head for the nearest public center.

Its not exactly hard
Simple primaries like acetone peroxide can be made with mostly over the counter ingredients
Of course its a primary, and specificaly that one is more unstable than nitroglycerin and an actively tries to kill you, but you get the idea
Classic secondary is also ANFO, ammonium nitrate, readily availible as a fertelizer, mixed with usually deisel (at a 60% ratio I think), bam, powerful secondary

Mission accomplished.
