Baghdad (dpa)- At least nine people were killed Friday in a suicide attack near a funeral procession in a mainly Shiite area of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, said medical and security sources. Twenty others were injured when the attacker blew himself up inside a car as the mourners were passing by in southern Baghdad's al-Zafarania district, the sources told dpa. Earlier this month, at least 20 Shiite pilgrims were killed when a suicide bomber targeted them while they were en route to an annual religious ceremony in southern Iraq. Fears have grown among Iraqis about a surge in attacks by armed groups or even a sectarian conflict ever since US troops completed their withdrawal from the country in December.
