Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, is rocked by twin explosions involving suicide bombers linked to ISIS killing at least 70 people and injuring a hundred more.
Dozens of people were reportedly killed and injured in several blasts in Shiite-populated areas of Damascus and Homs orchestrated by radical Sunni jihadist group ISIS.
Shiite Iran is seeking a “new paradigm” in its effort to build better relations with Sunni rival Saudi Arabia- two regional hegemons that are involved in pitched proxy wars in the Middle East.
Saudi authorities confirmed four deaths and 18 injured following a suicide bomb attack outside a Shiite mosque in the oil-rich eastern part of the country- an incident that is bound to increase sectarian tensions.
