A bomb killed four people in the southern Iraqi city of Basra on Tuesday, the first such attack in years in a part of the country that has enjoyed relative stability, and a senior official said ISIS militants were suspected of carrying it out.For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.The blast, near a major hospital in the predominantly Shia Muslim city, was caused by a motorbike rigged with explosives, the military said in a statement, citing preliminary information.There was no immediate claim of responsibility.“The blast carries fingerprints of Daesh,” Basra Governor Asaad al-Edani told reporters.Bomb attacks in the Basra area have been rare - the last major one was in 2017, and claimed by ISIS. The authorities have kept a tight grip on the area where the bulk of the OPEC member’s oil is produced and exported.Policemen were collecting body parts from a minibus that was badly damaged by the blast, a Reuters witness said. The street was covered with broken glass and blood. The governor announced three days of mourning.“Today and after this terrorist act, the people of Basra must definitely be cautious and careful. Basra became unsafe today,” said Mohammed Ibrahim, a car mechanic whose workshop was near the blast site.Police and hospital sources earlier told Reuters that 20 people had been wounded, in addition to the four fatalities.Helped by a US-led coalition and Iran-backed forces, Iraq declared victory over ISIS in December 2017, after driving it from swathes of territory where it had declared a self-styled caliphate.But the militant group continues to carry out sporadic attacks, particularly in the north, where ISIS briefly seized a village on Sunday before being driven out.Read more: Explosion reported at Iranian oil pipelineAt least three killed in blast at Afghanistan mosqueYemeni journalist working with Al Arabiya injured, pregnant wife killed in Aden
