Coffee shop blast death toll rises to 21 in Iraq
Police raised the death toll in a suicide bomb attack on a Shiite coffee shop in Baghdad to 21 today, with 25 others injured, while gunmen killed at least one man and wounded four in an attack on a Shiite bakery.
The coffee shop explosion, which followed days of mortar attacks on Sunni neighbourhoods that killed at least 16 people, had originally been reported as a mortar barrage, but police Lt. Ali Muhssin said that was incorrect.
