A bomb exploded at the entrance of a Shiite mosque south of Baghdad as worshippers gathered for prayers ahead of the end of the day’s Ramadan fast today, killing at least 10 people and wounding 40, police and hospital officials said.
The explosion hit the Ibn al-Nama mosque in Hillah, a Shiite town that has been the scene of frequent deadly insurgent attacks.
