Suicide bomber kills 20 in Iraqi Sunni mosque
- 11 years ago
Scene of a massacre after at least 20 people are killed by a suicide bomber inside a Sunni mosque in central Iraq.
The attack took place in the middle of a sermon.
It is unclear who was behind the blast -- the latest in a campaign of attacks that has raised fears of a return to full-blown sectarian conflict in a country where Kurds, Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims have yet to find a stable way of sharing power.
The grief comes as more than 460 people have been killed in militant attacks in July alone -- according to the monitoring group Iraq Body Count.
