A suicide bomber killed 26 people at the funeral for a member of a tiny Iraqi minority group Saturday,the latest in a months-long wave of bloodshed plaguing the country.
The attack was one of several to strike predominantly Sunni Arab northern Iraq,beset by growing instability in recent months as anti-government protests have combined with spillover from neighbouring Syrias years-long civil war to give militant groups increased room to manoeuvre.
The bomber blew himself in the town of Baashiqah,just outside the main northern city of Mosul,killing 26 people and wounding 46.
