Baghdad mosque hit by bomb blast
At least seven people have been killed and 18 injured in a suicide
bombing at a Shia mosque in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, police say.
The blast is the first major attack in Baghdad since a massive security
operation came into force on Wednesday.
It took place shortly before weekly prayers. One of the new security
measures - a ban on cars on Fridays - was aimed at preventing such an attack.
The government feared reprisals for the death of militant Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi.
The leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq - the most wanted man in the country - was
killed last week in a US air strike north of Baquba. Statements apparently put
on internet by the militant group vowed to take revenge.
Friday's attack hit the Buratha mosque in northern Baghdad - the same
place hit by three suicide bombers on 7 April, in an attack that killed up to
90 people.
The security operation in Baghdad appeared to have reduced the number of
attacks, although a bomb in a parked car detonated in the south-west of the
city killed at least three civilians and wounded 14 on Thursday.
Elsewhere, violence has continued. Also on Thursday, gunmen shot and
killed 10 workers riding a bus in Baquba.
