Bomber strikes at Iraqi funeral

A suicide bomber has attacked mourners at a funeral ceremony in northern Iraq, killing at least 15 of them and wounding a similar number, police say.

The bomber walked into a tent where residents were mourning the relative of a provincial security chief near the city of Baiji, an official said.

Northern Iraq has been the scene of a number of recent bomb attacks.

The US military says al-Qaeda has regrouped there after being forced out of Baghdad and other regions.
