Iraq blasts near Baghdad Shia mosque 'kill at least 35':
Two explosions near a Shia mosque in the Iraqi capital Baghdad have killed at least 35 people, officials say. At least 55 others were wounded in the attack in the largely Shia district of Kasra as worshippers were leaving the mosque after evening prayers. No-one has yet said they carried out the attack, but suspicion will fall on Sunni militants. Sectarian violence has surged in Iraq in recent months, reaching its highest level since 2008. More than 5,000 people have been killed and 12,000 injured since January, according to the United Nations.

A suicide attack north of Mosul, Iraq, on Saturday killed at least 25 people and wounded 48 others, authorities said. The bomber, wearing an explosive vest, blew himself up at a funeral of a member of the Shabak, an ethnic minority group, in the outskirts of Mosul in northern Iraq. The Shabak people are Muslims, and 65% of them are Shiite, with the remaining 35% Sunni. The attack took place in Baashiqa, whose majority is Shiite Shabak. The Shabak people number about 250,000 in the Nineveh province and have their own language, Shabaki, as well as style of dress.
The attack was the latest violence in a country torn by sectarian conflict. On Friday, a bomb hidden in a mosque's air-conditioning ducts killed 30 Sunni worshipers and wounded 52 others near Baquba, Iraq, which is about 37 miles (60 kilometers) northeast of Baghdad.
