Suicide bomber kills at least 6 at Baghdad mosque
June 16, 2006
BAGHDAD (Reuters) – A suicide bomber killed at least six
people and wounded another 20 inside a Shi’ite mosque in
Baghdad on Friday, police said, two days after security forces
launched a crackdown against al Qaeda in the capital.
The blast at the Buratha mosque in northern Baghdad took
place as worshippers were gathering for Friday’s noon prayers.
On April 7, three suicide bombers dressed as women attacked
the same mosque, killing at least 71 people.
Al Qaeda in Iraq has attacked Shi’ite mosques as part of a
campaign to ignite a civil war between Shi’ites and Sunni
Arabs.
