Bombings at mosques across Iraq

Mosques across Iraq have been targeted in a number of attacks, in which at least 14 people have been killed.

Eight people died in attacks on Sunni worshippers in Baghdad and Baquba following Friday prayers.

Another six people were killed in a car bombing at a Shia mosque in the northern town of Sinjar, near Mosul.

Earlier, at least seven people were killed in an American-led operation against Shia militiamen in the Sadr City area of Baghdad.

Police in Baghdad said the explosions at two separate mosques in the capital were caused by a car bomb and a mortar fired at the front of a mosque.

Roadside bomb

In Baquba, north-east of Baghdad, a roadside bomb exploded as worshippers emerged from the Sunni mosque.

The Iraqi government recently imposed a driving ban in the capital on Fridays that was intended to stop such attacks.
