Baghdad, August 07: An explosive-laden vehicle has been detonated near a mosque in the troubled city of Mosul in Iraq’s north, leaving at least 20 people killed.
The explosion took place outside a Shia mosque in the northern part of the city as worshippers were leaving the weekly Friday prayers, AFP cited hospital officials as saying.
Last Friday, multiple blasts targeted a number of mosques in Baghdad’s Shia dominated neighborhoods and claimed almost 30 lives.
