Suicide Bomber Kills Nine In Iraqi Shi'ite Mosque


A suicide bomber blew up inside a Shi'ite mosque during Friday prayers in a town south of Baghdad, killing nine people and wounding another 15.

Police says the bombing took place in the town of Musaib, 80 kilometers south of the capital, one day after Iraq's parliament approved a controversial military pact that will allow U.S. troops to remain in the country for another three years.

RFE/RL has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian government.
