Bomb in Baghdad – level 1

01-06-2017 15:00

It is Ramadan. During this time, Muslims fast. Some Muslims do not fast at night. They go out.

Restaurants and cafés are busy at night. One night in Baghdad, a car explodes. Thirteen people die. Another 30 people are injured.

The Islamic State Group does this. The group does not like Iraqi Shia Muslims. The group thinks that they are heretics.

Difficult words: fast (not to eat some foods because of your believes), Shia Muslims (one of two groups of Muslims), heretic (someone who does not follow a religion in the traditional way).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
