Relatives of 50 people killed by a sucide bomber in Iraq gathered in small groups fearing that a large funeral procession would be another target.
An oil pipeline was also bombed in an attack on the country's already delicate economy.
An article at cnews says:
"Families of the victims from Thursday's bombing at a funeral in a Mosul mosque held individual wakes and funeral services after agreeing with community and religious leaders not to hold a joint funeral procession, mostly out of fears of another attack.
Insurgents led by Sunni Arabs, a minority that dominated under Saddam Hussein, are targeting Shiite funeral processions and ceremonies in an apparent campaign to spark a sectarian war."
"I cannot describe the amount of despair I feel," said Sher Qassim Mohammed Ali. "I lost seven of my sons, brothers and cousins. I want to know who carried out this attack."
