Iraqis Hold Funerals For Suicide Bomb Victims -- Voice of America

Iraqis are holding funerals for some of the 28 people killed in Sunday's suicide bomb attack at the largest Sunni mosque in Baghdad.

A mosque official said Monday the bomber had disguised himself as a bandaged beggar and had gone to the blue-domed Um al-Qura mosque for a number of days to become familiar to the guards.
