At least 115 people are dead in one of the worst bombings in Baghdad since the US and UK and their allies invaded Iraq in 2003 and stirred up a hornet's nest of grudges and terrorists.  Islamic State claimed responsibility for the truck bombing, which it said was aimed at Shia shoppers breaking their Ramadan fast after sundown at the popular al-Hadi Center.  Area residents say there were many Sunnis there as well.  The top Sunni cleric in Iraq disavowed IS and called the bombing a "bloody crime, regardless of who carried it out or what their motivations were".  The blast set fire to surrounding buildings, injuring more than 150 people. 

Angry civilians confronted Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi as he tried to inspect the scene of the deadliest bombing of the year, pelting his motorcade with rocks and garbage and routing him from the neighborhood.  They are outraged that Islamic State is able to carry out bombings in the capital at will, even as Iraqi forces continue to push back IS and reclaim territory such as the city of Falluja last week.  Mr. Abadi later declared three days of national mourning for the bombing victims.

Bangladeshi authorities say the attackers in the 12 hour siege at the Holey Artisan Cafe in Dhaka were known to police, before the slaughter of 20 foreign hostages and two police officers over the weekend.  Islamic State says it was behind the attack but the government disputes this.  "They are members of the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh," said Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan.  "They have no connections with the Islamic State," he added.  This group has been around since 1998, and was previously believed to be affiliated with IS's rival Al Qaeda.

Masked men shot and stabbed a Muslim doctor on his way to prayers at a mosque in Houston, Texas.  The victim made it to the door of the mosque where he was able to get help; he's now in hospital in a stable condition.  Police claim they don't know the motive for the attack, but the Mutfi was sure:  "These anti-Muslim attacks need to stop.  Innocent people are getting hurt," said Mohammed Wasim Khan, "This is what they want, Americans attacking fellow Americans."  A day earlier in Florida, police arrested a man for attacking a man outside the mosque frequented by the gunman in the Orlando Nightclub Massacre.

El Salvador is known as the murder capital of the world, but the homicide rate plunged by about 50 percent in recent months.  The government is taking credit because of a military counter-offensive against the gangs which includes the use of Special Forces and transferring gang leaders into a "Super-Max" prison.  But the three main gangs dispute this; they point to a mutual non-aggression pact that immediately preceded the demonstrable drop in killings.  Either way, March's murder rate was 611; it dropped to 353 in April, 351 in May, and 331 in June, which is less than half of the same month a year earlier.
