BAGHDAD | Tue Jun 18, 2013 9:17am EDT

(Reuters) - Two coordinated suicide bombings at a Shi'ite Muslim mosque in Baghdad killed at least 29 worshippers at noon prayers on Tuesday, medics said.

The first bomber detonated his charge at a checkpoint about 100 meters (yards) away from the mosque in al-Qahira district of northern Baghdad. He was followed minutes later by a second who blew himself up inside the building.

"The (second) suicide bomber detonated himself among the worshippers, who were gathering after the call to prayer," said policeman Furat Faleh, who was near the site of the blast.

Republicans work for radical Muslims by bankrupting America and radical Muslims work for Republicans by blowing other Muslims up.

In both cases, a senseless waste.
