| [An Nahar] A bomb placed outside a mosque frequented by provincial officials in the Iraqi city of Tikrit killed 17 people and maimed 50 after the main weekly Mohammedan prayers on Friday, a security official said. Two members of the provincial council and a police officer were among the maimed, the official said. A doctor at the city's hospital confirmed the casualty toll. The bomb was hidden in a barrel at the entrance to the mosque where provincial officials often attend Friday prayers, the official said. |

| #1 And after the mosque bombing when the victims were being treated, "A suicide bomber later walked into the emergency room at the hospital and blew himself up near where family members had gathered." Lovely people these are. |
