Deadly Suicide Blast Hits Baghdad Funeral

A suicide bomber has killed at least 21 people at a funeral in the Iraqi capital, while an ambush has halted the government forces' advance on a key northern city controlled by ISIL fighters. Sunday's attack, which also wounded 35 people, occurred outside a Shia house of worship in the western Baghdad neighbourhood of Harthiya, where people were attending a funeral service, a local police officer and a medical official told Reuters news agency.
