796 people were killed and at least 1,500 others were wounded,[1][2][3] making it the Iraq War's deadliest car bomb attack. It is also the third deadliest act of terrorism in world history, after the September 11 attacks in the United States, and the Camp Speicher massacre, also in Iraq.[4] No group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
