Mourners carry the coffin of a victim killed by a bomb attack in Baghdad
Mourners carry the coffin of a victim killed by a bomb attack in Baghdad's Sadriya district, November 26, 2013. Two bombs exploded outside a cafe in Baghdad on Monday, killing 17 people and wounding 37, police and medical sources said, the latest in a series of attacks on the few social meeting places left open in the Iraqi capital. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast in the mainly Shi'ite Muslim eastern district of Sadriya. But Sunni Muslim insurgents, some linked to al Qaeda, have regularly bombed cafes, restaurants and sports matches since the start of 2013, amid the country's worst spate of violence in five years.
