More than 60 killed in Iraq funeral bombing At least 60 people have been killed at a funeral in the mainly Shia Muslim Sadr City district of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. A tent where mourners were gathered was hit by two explosions, one of them a suicide car bomb. A third explosion followed as police, ambulances and firefighters gathered at the scene, according to one report. Officials reported that women and children were among the dead and that more than 120 people had been injured. No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing, which happened early on Saturday evening. The explosions reportedly set the tents and nearby cars on fire, with eyewitnesses describing the scene as an "inferno". bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-24190728
