Suicide bombers kill 77
Two suicide bombers killed at least 77 people and destroyed two Shia mosques in a north-eastern Iraqi town in an attack aimed at fuelling sectarian tension before next month’s elections.
The bombers walked into the mosques in Khanaqin when they were full for Friday noon prayers, and detonated explosive belts strapped to their waists. Many children were feared dead as a number of fathers had taken their sons for prayer. There were still bodies trapped in the wreckage last night.
