KIRKUK: Twin suicide bombings at a Shia mosque in north Iraq were the deadliest in attacks nationwide that killed 15 people yesterday. Attacks struck mostly in the north, although Baghdad was also hit. The deadliest violence was in Tuz Khurmatu, where a suicide car bombing followed by a suicide attack targeting a Shia mosque killed at least 10 people and wounded 45. The initial blast was at 5:30pm near the Imam Ali mosque. Shortly afterwards, a suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance to the mosque.
Unrest in Baghdad and two cities in the north — Tal Afar and Arab Tikrit — left five other people dead, officials said. AFP
