A suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest blew himself up among
mourners inside a funeral tent on a farm about 12 miles north of Baghdad, Iraq,
on Monday, according to police.
At least 21 people were
killed and 35 others injured at the funeral in al Taji, a mostly Sunni
district, officials said.
The funeral was for a
member of the local Awakening Council, a group also known as the Sons of Iraq
and Sahawat, made up of Sunni Arab fighters who turned against al Qaeda.
Iraqi security forces
believe that ISIS militants were behind the attack.
