No claim of responsibility for mosque blasts

Shiite Muslims, many kneeling in prayer, were attacked in their mosques and on the streets on the eve of their holiest day, with five bombings killing 36 people in the deadliest day in Iraq since the January 30 national elections.

There were no immediate claims of responsibility for yesterday’s blasts - three of them suicide attacks – in Baghdad and Iskandariyah, south of the capital.
