ISIS claims responsibility for Iraq suicide attack that left dozens dead - CNN

Wayne Marotto, the military spokesperson for Operation Inherent Resolve, the global coalition to defeat what remains of the ISIS caliphate, offered its condolences for the victims' families in a tweet on Monday.

"This horrific attack right before Eid Al-Adha is a terrible reminder of the violence Iraqi children continue to face," said Sheema Sen Gupta, the UNICEF Representative in Iraq, in a statement on Monday.

"On the eve of Eid Al-Adha and as Iraqis mourn this sad moment, UNICEF calls for all actors in Iraq to work together towards a safer Iraq where children do not have to live in fear and where they enjoy their very basic activities and rights," Gupta said.
