The jihad continues in Iraq — this time apparently targeting the election victors. From AP, with thanks to JE:
Twin explosions during Friday prayers outside Shi’ite mosques in Baghdad have killed about 30 people and injured dozens, officials said.
The first blast occurred in Baghdad’s southern Dora neighbourhood near the al-Khadimain mosque and reportedly killed 30, Iraqi National Guard 1st Lieutenant Ahmad Ali said.
The mosque’s imam, he said, was making appeals for blood donations.
A second blast, apparently caused by a mortar attack, occurred outside the Al Qura mosque in a predominantly Shi’ite neighbourhood of western Baghdad, Lieutenant Colonel Jalal Sabry of the local police station said.
