Nearly 120 killed in overnight Baghdad bombings claimed by Islamic State Posted: 03 Jul 2016 10:53 AM PDT By Ahmed Rasheed and Maher Chmaytelli BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Nearly 120 people were killed and 200 wounded in two bombings overnight in Baghdad, most of them in a busy shopping area as residents celebrated Ramadan, police and medical sources said on Sunday. The attack on the shopping area of Karrada is the deadliest since U.S.-backed Iraqi forces last month scored a major victory when it dislodged Islamic State from their stronghold of Falluja, an hour's drive west of the capital. Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had ordered the offensive after a series of bombings in Baghdad, saying Falluja served as a launchpad for such attacks on the capital.

Ahead of key court ruling, Beijing in propaganda overdrive Posted: 03 Jul 2016 04:38 PM PDT By Greg Torode and Mike Collett-White HONG KONG/LONDON (Reuters) - As an international tribunal prepares to rule on Beijing's territorial claims in the South China Sea, officials in Washington, Tokyo and Southeast Asia are on tenterhooks. On July 12, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague will rule on a case brought by the Philippines against China over its territorial claims and actions across the disputed waters and vital global trade route. Beijing claims some 90 percent of the South China Sea, and the Philippines is challenging it under a United Nations maritime convention.

Bangladesh gunmen made no demands, Islamic State not involved: minister Posted: 03 Jul 2016 12:18 PM PDT By Aditya Kalra, Serajul Quadir and Ruma Paul DHAKA (Reuters) - Seven militants who killed 20 people at a Dhaka restaurant made no demands and a person taken alive by police was only a suspect admitted in hospital, Bangladesh's home minister said on Sunday, rejecting Islamic State's claims of responsibility. Three of the six gunmen killed were under 22 years of age and had been missing for six months, Asaduzzaman Khan told Reuters in an interview at his Dhaka home. Police and government officials have said the attackers were from well-off Bangladeshi families, a rarity and an indication that religious radicalization was widening its scope.

Australia in limbo as vote counting in tight election to take days Posted: 03 Jul 2016 04:32 PM PDT By Jane Wardell and Wayne Cole SYDNEY (Reuters) - Vote counting resumed on Monday in a dramatic Australian federal election but a winner is not expected to be announced for several days, raising the prospect of prolonged political and economic instability. The exceptionally close vote leaves Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull chasing support from key independent and minor parties - the very groups he called a risky double dissolution election to circumvent - to retain power. The opposition Labor Party is also schmoozing with a quartet of new power brokers who are yet to declare support for either side, as rumbling grows about Turnbull's future as leader of the centre-right Liberal Party-led coalition.
