Five Iraqis killed, 20 injured in mosque boom
2005-09-16
Five Iraqis were killed and 20 others were injured on Friday due to a terrorist attack by a booby-trapped car targeting a Shiite mosque in southern Iraq’s Kirkuk city, said a source from Iraq’s Interior Ministry. In a press statement, the source said the terrorist suicide-bomber launched the attack as worshippers were leaving the mosque after performing Friday’s prayer, adding that casualties were rushed to a nearby medical center.

Previously on Friday, gunmen boarding a car shot dead Sheikh Fadhel Al-Lami, the head of Imam Ali bin Abi Taleb Shiite mosque, on a street in the eastern part of Baghdad. On Thursday, a bomb planted at the gate of a Shiite mosque in the northern city of Mosul blew up killing the mosque’s imam and three other persons.
