MOSUL, Iraq - A suicide bomber on Thursday killed at least 36 Iraqis at a Shiite mosque in this northern city as mourners were gathered for a funeral service.

Saher Maher, a doctor at Mosul's hospital, said 36 people had died and that at least 25 were injured.

American troops cordoned off the area around the mosque, but witnesses said the attack took place during a funeral.

“As we were inside the mosque, we saw a ball of fire and heard a huge explosion,” said Tahir Abdullah Sultan. “After that blood and pieces of flesh were scattered around the place.”
