Suicide bomber detonates
in Mosul mosque, kills 47
BY SINDBAD AHMED
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSUL, Iraq — A suicide attack
er set off a bomb that tore through
a funeral tent jammed with Shiite
mourners Thursday, splattering
blood and body parts over rows
of overturned white plastic chairs.
The attack, which killed 47 and
wounded more than 100, came
as Shiite and Kurdish politicians in
Baghdad said they overcame a ma
jor stumbling block to forming a
new coalition government.
The explosion, in a working
class neighborhood of this northern
city, destroyed a large tent
pitched next to a smaller one on a
grassy patch in the courtyard of a
mosque. Survivors scrambled to
get the wounded to a hospital, lug
ging them to ambulances and cars
in blankets or prayer rugs as a
strong smell of gunpowder filled
the yard.
Shiite mosques and funerals have
become a frequent target of Sunni-led
insurgents. Last month, suicide
bombers attacked a number of them
during the Shiite commemoration of
Ashoura, killing nearly 100 people.
Dealing with the persistent insur
gency will be a main task for a new
Iraqi government.
Officials said the deal between
the Shiite clergy-backed United Iraqi
Alliance and the Kurdish parties
opens the way for naming a Cabinet
when Iraq’s democratically elected
National Assembly convenes
Wednesday.
The Kurds agreed to support the
alliance’s candidate for prime min
ister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari. In
exchange, the alliance will back
Jalal Talabani as Iraq’s first-ever
Kurdish president. The Kurds will
receive one major Cabinet post —
one fewer than they demanded.
On the thorny issue of territory,
officials in both political camps
said the deal provides for the even
tual return of 100,000 Kurdish
refugees to the oil-rich city of
Kirkuk, southwest of Mosul.
The government will discuss re
turning the refugees and redrawing
existing Kurdish autonomous re
gions to include the city, according
to the deal.
Officials said any land agreement
would be incorporated into the
country’s new constitution, which
must be drafted by mid-August and
approved by referendum two
months later.
