Car bomber kills 27 at funeral in Iraq
2007-05-25
FALLUJA, Iraq - At least 27 people were killed and dozens wounded on Thursday when a suicide bomber in a car packed with explosives drove into a crowd of mourners at a funeral in Falluja, west of Baghdad, police said. The bomber targeted mourners in a funeral procession for Allawi Al Isawi, a local contractor in Falluja, 50 km (30 miles) west of Baghdad, who was killed earlier on Thursday, police officer Jamal Anfous said.

As mourners walked down a main street holding aloft IsawiÂ’s coffin, the bomber drove into the crowd and blew himself up. A doctor at a local hospital, Ahmed Al Ani, said 27 were killed and more than 30 wounded.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack..

#1  While the funeral was for a Sunni leader who had fought Al Qaeda's presence, his being a Muslim in general makes it rather difficult for me to do more than fart in their general direction.
