Iraq: suicide boomer at Shiite mosque kill 35
 [USATODAY] Iraqi officials say a double bomb attack on a Shiite mosque in northern Baghdad that struck as worshipers were leaving after prayers has killed at least 35.That's a little higher than normal. Must be a Shiite holiday. Police say more than 50 people were wounded in the Wednesday evening attack. They say it happened in a part of the Iraqi capital known as Kasra, a predominantly Shiite enclave in a part of the city that is otherwise largely Sunni. They say a suicide bomber blew himself up at the gate of the mosque, and then a car he apparently arrived in exploded nearby. Hospital officials confirmed the casualty numbers. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information. Posted by: Fred 2013-09-12 |
