A suicide bomber has killed at least 30 people and wounded 38 in eastern Baghdad.

Police said the bomber detonated an explosive vest among mourners attending a funeral for a man killed in a bomb blast three days ago.

It was the deadliest attack in the Iraqi capital since September and one of the worst anywhere in Iraq for months.
