Blast hits Sunni mosque in Iraq Fri Mar 24, 2006 10:50 AM GMT
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A bomb planted outside a Sunni mosque in Iraq killed five people and wounded 12 others as worshippers were leaving midday prayers on Friday, police said.
Police said most of the wounded were in a serious condition.
They said the bomb had been planted near the entrance of the Sa'ad bin Abiwakkas mosque in Khalis, a town northeast of Baghdad.
A number of Sunni mosques have been targeted in sectarian attacks since the February 22 bombing of a major Shi'ite mosque in Samarra unleashed a wave of violence that pushed Iraq towards the edge of civil war.
