15 killed in suicide bomb blast in a mosque in Iraq

In Iraq, at least fifteen worshippers have been killed and 98 others injured in a suicide bombing inside a Sunni Mosque near the restive northern city of Mosul. An Interior Ministry sources said the incident occurred when a suicide bomber blew himself up among worshippers inside a Mosque in Tal Afar west of Mosul during the Friday noon prayers. Witnesses and security officials said that after the mosque's imam began to speak, the attacker pulled out a gun and shot the Imam, then set off a belt full of explosives as other worshippers tried to tackle him.
