32 Killed in a Suicide Bomb Attack Targeting a Shia Mosque, Cafe in Iraq At least 22 people have died and nearly 30 others wounded in a suicide bomb attack targeting a Shia mosque in the Iraqi town of Muqdadiyah on Monday. A separate bombing in a cafe in a Shia district of Baquba, killed another 10 people and wounded more than 20 others on Monday. At least 22 people have died and nearly 30 others wounded in a suicide bomb attack targeting a Shia mosque in the Iraqi town of Muqdadiyah on Monday evening, police say. The attack came on the same day the UN mission in Iraq released figures indicating that over 2,500 Iraqis have died in violent attacks since April. Muqdadiyah is located 80km (50 miles) north-east of the capital, Baghdad. It is the latest in a series of deadly sectarian attacks to strike Iraq's Diyala province. Iraq has been suffering its worst sectarian violence in several years with May the bloodiest month since June 2008, according to recent figures. However, the UN's latest casualties figures show a drop in the number of fatalities from 1,045 in May to 761 in June. Trapped A suicide bomber set off his explosive belt at the funeral ceremony of a police officer in Muqdadiyah late on Monday, police say. The police officer was reportedly killed in a recent roadside bomb attack. The explosion brought down the ceiling of the mosque, with people still believed to be trapped beneath the rubble. A separate bombing in a cafe in a Shia district of Baquba, the capital of Diyala Province, killed another 10 people and wounded more than 20 others on Monday. In June, 10 Iranian Shia pilgrims were killed after a suicide bomber rammed a car packed with explosives into a bus in Muqdadiyah.
