Ahlul Bayt News Agency - At least nine people were killed in bomb attacks claimed by the so-called Islamic State on a Shi'ite Muslim mosque south of Baghdad on Friday, police and medics said.
The militant group, which controls large swathes of northern and western Iraq, said in an online statement it had targeted "rejectionists", as the group refers to Shi'ites.
A roadside bomb planted near the mosque in Yousifiya went off as worshippers were leaving Friday prayers, killing two civilians and wounding nine, the sources said.
When security forces arrived at the scene, a suicide bomber detonated his explosives-packed vest, killing seven and wounding 28 others, they said.
