[spanone]

BAGHDAD — As Muslims celebrated the close of the fasting month of Ramadan, suicide bombers killed at least 20 people in attacks on two Shi’ite mosques during early morning prayers in different areas of Baghdad early Thursday, the Interior Ministry said.

The attacks were the second wave this week during a lengthy public holiday covering observances of the Id al-Fitr feast, which is celebrated at different times by Sunnis and Shi’ites at the end of Ramadan.

In the middle class Zafraniya district, an area of southeast Baghdad with a mixed population of different faiths, a car bomber rammed a taxi into an armored vehicle guarding the entrance to a compound, killing eight people, including two Iraqi soldiers, the Interior Ministry said. The attack took place in neighborhood whose population is heavily Shi’ite.

In the second attack, a bomber wearing an explosive vest tried to enter a prayer hall in the predominantly Shi’ite New Baghdad area nearby, killing 12 people and injuring at least 25.
