Extremists In Iraq Are Trying To Provoke A Sectarian War





Iraqis Hold Funerals For Suicide Bomb Victims -- Voice of America



Iraqis are holding funerals for some of the 28 people killed in Sunday's suicide bomb attack at the largest Sunni mosque in Baghdad.



A mosque official said Monday the bomber had disguised himself as a bandaged beggar and had gone to the blue-domed Um al-Qura mosque for a number of days to become familiar to the guards. He said the bomber hid explosives in his bandages and detonated them during a special prayer service for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.



Interior Ministry officials said Sunni lawmaker Khalid al-Fahdawi, a representative from western Anbar Province, was among those killed in the blast.
