Last Updated: Friday, 16 June 2006, 09:26 GMT 10:26 UK Baghdad mosque hit by bomb blast At least seven people have been killed and 18 injured in a suicide bombing at a Shia mosque in the Iraqi capital Baghdad, police say. The blast is the first major attack in Baghdad since a massive security operation came into force on Wednesday. It took place shortly before weekly prayers. One of the new security measures - a ban on cars on Fridays - was aimed at preventing such an attack. The government feared reprisals for the death of militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq - the most wanted man in the country - was killed last week in a US air strike north of Baquba. Statements apparently put on internet by the militant group vowed to take revenge. Friday's attack hit the Buratha mosque in northern Baghdad - the same place hit by three suicide bombers on 7 April, in an attack that killed up to 90 people. The security operation in Baghdad appeared to have reduced the number of attacks, although a bomb in a parked car detonated in the south-west of the city killed at least three civilians and wounded 14 on Thursday. Elsewhere, violence has continued. Also on Thursday, gunmen shot and killed 10 workers riding a bus in Baquba. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
