Iraqis converged on the streets of Baghdad’s shopping area of Karrada after breaking their dawn-to-dusk fast for the holy Muslim month of Ramadan to pray for the deceased.
On another note, Iraq's interior minister offered to resign on Tuesday and said a deputy would take over his responsibilities, days after one of the worst bombings in Baghdad since the 2003 invasion.
Mohammed Ghabban made the announcement at a media conference in Baghdad, a video of which was posted on his official Facebook page.
Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi's office could not immediately be reached for comment.
