Are Baghdad bombings a sign of ISIS strength or weakness?

Twin bombings rocked Baghdad Tuesday in attacks, days after the start of Ramadan and just as the Islamic State is losing ground in Mosul, its last foothold in the country. One bomb hit just after midnight at a popular ice cream parlor, killing 15, while another happened during morning rush hour, leaving at least 14 dead. Jeffrey Brown learns more from Susannah George of the Associated Press.
