recent years. this amateur video captures chaos in sadder city moments after swin bomb attacks in a busy mosque. it's in a mainly shia neighborhood just north of the capital baghdad. the first bomb explode odd a motorcycle as people gathered to help the injured, a suicide bomber blew himself up. isil says it's behind the atta attack. just hours before, west of baghdad, suicide bombers and gunmen attacked iraqi security forces in abu ghraib. al jazeera can't verify these pictures. several military personnel are said to have been killed. a nearby village was also ceasee seized by armed fighter. and military barracks remember raided. isil is being held responsible for these attacks too. the iraqi army is preparing an offensive to retake the northern city of mosul. iraqi forces supported by u.s. co lines airstrikes, have driven

have you with us al jazeera. what does sunday's attack tell us about isil's capabilities? >> i think it tells us that they still have ability to do coordinated attacks that have these sort of spectacular results. but i think we have reached a point over the last year and a half since they took over mosul in 2014, where they are no longer able to sustain an attack and capture territory. so i am afraid for the short-term, perhaps for the foreseeable future, we can expect that they can lash out in the way that his we have seen today. but there is no question that they are a -- an injured animal and perhaps that makes them particularly dangerous now. >> an injured animal that are still able to carry out such heinous attacks. you say yourself, and that makes them particularly dangerous. we know the government is trying

to stop them from taking more territory. but how do you stop isil from carrying out attacks like the ones we saw on sunday? how do you do that? is that possible? >> well, of course we in iraq have become i newerred to these sorts of attacks for more than a decade now, it's just that this series of attacks is a bit more spectaculars but otherwise the media has sort of stopped paying very much attention to these attacks because frankly they have been daily occurrences. result payly isil itself as an organization, as an organization that hold territory in iraq, in syria, must be defeated. >> reporter: beyond that there is a political solution that must being used in particular reconciliation amongst iraq's various factions, without that piece will not return to iraq. >> there are plenty of people that agree we saying the government is too focused on

military defeating isil. and not attacking political issues, ideology, funding of freedom of movement for foreign fighters. >> well, indeed. i mean, some of us have been saying for years that we need more by way of reconciliation in died it's not just the iraqi government. the iraqi government has been largely encouraged by the united states and other foreign allies to focus on the military issues with the negotiation that political issues can be dealt with later. my own view is that we no longer have the luxury of saying we'll deal with this first and deal with that later. we have to deal on all front simultaneously. that's just the reality of the iraqi situation today. part what have makes it so complicated. >> director of the indiana university center for the stud you have middle east. thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it, thank you. >> thank you. let's move to other news now. there has been a significant reduction in fighting across parts of syria since the start

but analysts are quick to point out that neither immediate nor lasting change is inevitable. >> if the economy doesn't pick up perhaps in four years from now you'll see the losers coming back to power. president rouhani, you know, since he has been able to achieve an agreement with the p5 plus one he has an advantage, but he also have two major problems and that is the fall of the price of oil as well as the global economy that's not doing well. so it remains to be seen how this will play out in the next year and a half. >> reporter: the vibrant bustle of the grand bizarre disguises the damage that years of international sanctions, along with economic mismanagement, have route here, 60% of the population is under 30 and one in four of those is without a job. the economy is where most people want to see change the most. that means reforming the laws on trade and foreign investment the
