At least 73 killed in Iraq suicide attacks
Suicide bombers killed 65 worshippers at two mosques in eastern Iraq today while in Baghdad two car bombs destroyed the blast wall protecting a hotel housing foreign journalists and killed eight Iraqis.
The suicide attackers targeted the Sheik Murad mosque and the Khaniqin Grand Mosque – both homes to Shiite Muslims – in Khanaqin, 90 miles north-east of Baghdad, as dozens of people were attending Friday prayers.
