Woman suicide bomber kills five at Iraqi funera

A suicide bomb attack at a funeral killed five people on Monday in western Iraq where a roadside bombing claimed a sixth life, local officials said.

Five mourners were killed when the woman bomber set off a belt full of explosives at the funeral in the town of Haditha.

"While people were carrying the coffin, a suicide bomber exploded himself in the middle of the crowd, killing five," Haditha's mayor, Abdel Hakim Mohammed, told AFP.

He said at least 10 people were wounded in the attack in the town, 260 kilometres (160 miles) west of Baghdad in the predominantly province of Anbar.

In Fallujah, 50 kilometres west of the capital and also in Anbar, a roadside bomb in the centre of town targeting an army patrol killed one civilian.

The explosion, which occurred at 11:30 am (0830 GMT), also left three civilians and two soldiers wounded, a police official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Meanwhile, another roadside bomb in central Baghdad's Nidhal street, apparently targeting a police patrol, wounded four people, including one policeman, a police official said.
