Um, no.
Are you talking about the bridge accident that happened right now?
Not an attack.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - More than 500 Iraqi Shi'ites died in a stampede over a Tigris River bridge in Baghdad on Wednesday, panicked by rumors a suicide bomber was about to blow himself up, hospital and police sources said.
"So far we have 500 dead," Deputy Health Minister Jalil Al-Shumari told Reuters. Police and hospital sources later said at least 575 had died in the stampede. They said 255 people were injured.
One hospital said it had received at least 100 bodies by 12:30 (0830 GMT). The hospital source said bodies were being sent to two other nearby hospitals as well.
"We have lost count, we have hundreds and hundreds of dead and injured," a Health Ministry official told Reuters.
"We can't tell how many are dead. Many bodies are still in the river," the official added.
"The death toll is 575 so far," a police source told Reuters.
Earlier at least seven people were killed in three separate mortar attacks on the crowd as several thousand people marched to the Kadhimiya mosque in the old district of north Baghdad for a religious ceremony.
Tensions have been running high between the main religious and ethnic communities ahead of a referendum on a divisive new constitution for the post-Saddam Hussein era.
Parliament completed work on a draft constitution on Sunday and it must be approved by a popular mandate before October 15 to come into force.
