BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A hand grenade blast ripped through a cinema in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul on Wednesday, killing two people and wounding 20, police said.

Police said a witness had told them the movie theater was showing a pornographic film when the grenade exploded. Islamic militants have attacked some cinemas in postwar Iraq (news - web sites) for showing movies they regard as immoral.


"A grenade exploded inside the cinema. Twenty people were injured, two were killed," said Mohammed Sadiq, an officer at the police station nearest the cinema told Reuters by telephone.
