Families prepare to bury 120 suicide attack dead

Weeping and beating their chests, hundreds of people inspected bodies at an Iraqi morgue today, trying to identify friends and family who died in the single deadliest attack since the fall of Saddam Hussein.

Hospital spokesman Ali Hassoun said at least five people had succumbed to wounds overnight, raising the toll to 120 dead in the suicide bombing of military recruits in Hillah yesterday.
