ISIS, the Islamic State, has been losing territory in Iraq. Today it's claiming responsibility for three bombings in Baghdad — at an open market, a police station and a residential neighborhood. At least 93 people are dead and 165 injured according to early estimates. This comes during political upheaval and protests against the government installed by the United States. Ben Van Heuvelen is Managing Editor of the Iraq Oil Report.
