Six killed in blasts at Baghdad mosque
At least six people have been killed and 19 more wounded after a series of explosions near a Shia mosque south of Baghdad.
A roadside bomb went off as people were leaving Friday prayers, while a suicide bomber detonated explosives after security forces arrived.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Sunni extremists, including the Islamic State jihadist group, often carry out bombings targeting Shiites, whom they consider heretics.
The bombings came a week after a series of attacks claimed by IS targeted Shiites in Baghdad, killing at least 19 people.
