At least 65 people lost their lives in Iraq's second major bomb attack in as many days.

At least 120 more were wounded in Saturday's triple bombing of a funeral tent in the Baghdad Shi'ite stronghold of Sadr City.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility of the attack which involved at least one suicide bomber.

The bloodshed came a day after two bombs hidden in an air conditioning unit at a Sunni mosque near the city of Samarra killed at least 15.
