NBC/Reuters: Truck Bomb Kills at Least 76 at Market in Baghdad's Sadr City
At least 76 people were killed and 212 wounded in a bomb attack on Thursday at a market in Baghdad's Sadr City district, police and medical sources said.
The bombing was one of the largest attacks on the capital since Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi took office a year ago.
A statement circulated online by ISIS supporters said the blast had targeted what it called a stronghold of the "charlatan army" and Shiite Muslim militias. The Sunni extremist group regularly sends bombers into the capital.

Sad.
From a medieval warlord point of view, Sadr is helpless to protect his flock and so is less of a man or not man.
But Sadr is quite round and never in the front lines so the whole rabid cleric thing must be a good gig.
