Sunni MP among 5 die in Baghdad mosque attack
A teenage gunman went on the rampage in a Baghdad mosque on Friday, killing a Sunni Muslim MP and four other people in a grenade and gun attack, Iraqi officials and witnesses said.
Another 12 people were wounded and the gunman, who witnesses said appeared to be around 15 years old, was killed as he tried to flee the scene.
In two other attacks, one in Baghdad and the other northeast of the capital, three people, including a teenage girl, were killed and 11 wounded, two days after Iraq's bloodiest attack since May 20.
"A young man entered the mosque, shot down the MP and his bodyguard, and then threw a grenade that killed three people and wounded 12," an interior ministry official said.
