Sunni-Shi'ite Jihad Update from [1] AP:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide bomber detonated explosives Sunday inside a northern Iraqi cafe popular with Shiites, killing 25 people and injuring 23, an Iraqi general said.
The attack occurred just after sunset at a cafe in the outdoor market in Tuz Khormato, a mostly Turkomen city [2] 130 miles north of Baghdad, Maj. Gen. Anwar Mohammed Amin said. Turkomen, one of Iraq's ethnic groups, are mixed Sunni and Shiite. Amin said Shiites favored the cafe because it was located near a Shiite mosque.
