BAGHDAD -- At least 69 people were killed and 130 injured today when three suicide bombers, at least one of whom was a woman, blew themselves up in and around the Bratha mosque, one of the most important Shiite mosques in the capital.
Rescuers, including Iraqi security forces and volunteers, sorted among the gore of severed body parts to find and treat the living.
Asked how he knew a woman was involved, a mosque worker pointed at a body part that still had pantyhose attached. "There she is," he said.
The attack, targeting one of Baghdad's most important Shiite houses of worship, is certain to inflame sectarian passions between Shiites and Sunnis, who have been locked in a sectarian war for about a year.
