BAGHDAD (AP) — A bomb exploded amid Sunni worshippers leaving a mosque in west Baghdad, one of two attacks Friday that left seven dead in Iraq, officials said.
Iraqi security forces are struggling to contain the country’s most relentless round of violence since the 2011 U.S. military withdrawal. Over 30 Sunni mosques have been hit in the past two months and over 100 worshippers killed, in addition to attacks on Shiite neighborhoods, security forces, and other targets.
