The bomber has been named as SaifAllah al-Ansari by ISIS
A suicide bomber has blown himself up at a football stadium in Iraq killing at least 29 people and wounding 60.
Islamic State has already claimed responsibility for the attack, which comes in the same week as the Brussels bombings.
The attack took place during a match in Iskanderiyah around 30 miles from Baghdad.
IS later claimed responsibility in an online statement, SITE intelligence group, a monitoring organisation, reported
If true it is one of a number of suicide bombings to have taken place near the Iraqi capital with the terror group under pressure from Iraqi troops and Sunni tribal fighters aiming to recapture Kubeisa.
On Tuesday, bombings in Brussels claimed by IS killed 31 people and injured nearly 300.
The supposed moment the bomb went off. Warning you may find the footage upsetting.
