                    Dozens Killed in Bombing Outside Baghdad

   At least 23 people have been killed in a bombing targeting Sunni
   worshippers outside a mosque near Baghdad.
   Friday`s attack in Baquba, just north of the Iraqi capital, follows a
   wave of bombings in Iraq this week that have killed dozens.
   On Thursday, 25 people were killed in separate car bombings in Shi`ite
   neighborhoods of Baghdad and Kirkuk. And at least 33 were killed on
   Wednesday in bombings in the capital and other cities. Scores more have
   been wounded.
   Prime Minister Nouri-al-Maliki is blaming the deaths on rising
   sectarian violence that has plagued the country since security forces
   raided a Sunni protest camp near Kirkuk last month.
   Authorities say that raid ratcheted sectarian tensions to their highest
   point since the pullout of U.S. troops in late 2011.
   The United Nations is calling the last month the deadliest in Iraq
   since June 2008, when more than 700 people were killed.
