AlQa'dah 15, 1434, Sep 21, 2013, SPA -- A suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden car near a funeral tent packed with mourners and another bomber on foot blew himself up nearby in a part of Baghdad early Saturday evening, the deadliest assault in a day of attacks that claimed at least 65 lives in Iraq, AP reported. The strikes are the latest in a months-long surge of violence that is raising fears Iraq is slipping back toward the widespread sectarian killings that followed the 2003 U.S.-led invasion a decade ago. The attack on the funeral happened around dusk in the densely populated neighborhood of Sadr City in northeastern Baghdad. Police said at least 54 people were killed and more than 70 were wounded. One bomber was able to drive up near the tent before detonating his deadly payload, and another on foot blew himself up nearby. -- SPA 20:24 LOCAL TIME 17:24 GMT تغريد
