Iraqis mourn bomb blast victims
- 12 years ago
Funerals in Iraq.
Iraqis prepare to bury their dead after at least 10 people were killed and 18 others wounded when two explosions struck the restive Iraqi province of Diyala Thursday.
The attacks took place in a mainly Sunni village.
Tensions between Shi'ites, Sunnis and Kurds in Iraq's coalition government have been high since U.S. forces withdrew in December, raising fears of a return to the sectarian violence that almost drove the country to the edge of civil war a few years ago.
