Suicide bomber kills 31 in Baghdad
  • 12 years ago
A suicide bomber detonates an explosives-filled taxi near a funeral procession in Baghdad on Friday, leaving 31 dead and at least 60 wounded.
It is the latest attack in a Shi'ite neighbourhood amid rising violence since an Iraqi political crisis erupted in December.
The vehicle exploded near a group of Shi'ite mourners passing by a small market street in the Zaafarinya neighbourhood of Baghdad.
More than 320 people have been killed in attacks in Iraq since the start of the year alone and nearly 800 more wounded.
