Bomb kills 24 Shi’ite worshippers at morning prayer in Mosques

SUICIDE bombers targeted Shi’ite worshippers as they left morning prayers at two Baghdad mosques, killing 24 people and wounding more than 50 others, police said.

In a separate attack, gunmen fatally shot six Sunnis as they travelled in a minibus in the mainly Shi’ite town of Wajihiyah, a town 100km north of Baghdad.

The men were heading to Baquoba to visit relatives. They included two children, three women and a man, police said. Another woman and her small child were injured.
