Two suicide bombings in Iraq today
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7580280.stm
<snip>
A suicide bomber has attacked a celebratory feast in Baghdad's western Abu Ghraib district, killing at least 21 people, according to police.

Another 29 people are reported to have been injured when the attacker detonated an explosive vest.

Initial reports say the banquet was being attended by police and members of the Sunni "Awakening" group, which opposes al-Qaeda.

The guests were celebrating the release of a local man from US detention.

The attack took place at around 2030 local time (1730 GMT), according to an Interior Ministry official.

Abu Ghraib is a mainly Sunni district between central Baghdad and Fallujah.
