Iraq bomber targets mourners, 11 killed A SUICIDE bombing has ripped through a Shi'ite funeral tent in Iraq, killing five mourners. Six others also died in violence elsewhere in the country on Saturday, police and medics said. The bomber detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle near a funeral tent in the village of Zahra, north of Baghdad, where family members of a deceased Shi'ite man were receiving condolences. Five people were killed and 10 wounded, two days after a copycat attack in nearby Muqdadiyah killed 10 mourners. Sunni militants including those linked to al-Qaeda frequently target members of the Shi'ite majority, whom they regard as apostates. Iraq has been hit by a surge in violence that has killed more than 2500 people this year, including 310 this month. Also on Saturday, a roadside bomb in a Shi'ite area of Muqdadiyah killed two people and wounded five, while another exploded when people gathered at the scene, wounding four more. In Baquba, north of the capital, gunmen killed a shopowner, while others shot dead an army officer in the northern city of Mosul. And gunmen killed a soldier and wounded another in Kirkuk, also in northern Iraq.
