Funeral turns into bloodbath in Iraq
Fri Sep 30, 2011 5:9PM GMT


Fire fighters work at the site of a bomb attack in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on September 29, 2011.At least 18 people have been killed and 48 others have been wounded in a huge bomb explosion that targeted mourners at a funeral in the city of Hillah in central Iraq.


A massive car bomb detonated on Friday, ripping through a crowd of people mourning the death of a local sheikh near a mosque in Hillah, 100 km (60 miles) south of Baghdad, AFP reported.

The huge blast left at least 48 people injured and damaged a number of vehicles near the tent where the mourners had gathered, police said.

On Thursday, two women and a man were killed and 76 others were wounded when an explosive-laden truck detonated in front of a bank in Kirkuk as policemen were collecting their monthly salaries.

In a separate incident, an Iraqi policeman was gunned down in Baghdad. A soldier was also killed and two others were injured by a mortar attack on an Iraqi military base in Tarmiyah, north of the capital.

Iraq witnessed its deadliest terrorist attack of the month on September 25, when twin bombings rocked the southern Iraqi city of Karbala, killing at least 25 people and wounding dozens of others in the shrine city.

Iraq has experienced bombing attacks, roadside bombs, and shootings on an almost daily basis since the US-led invasion of the oil-rich country in 2003.
