Officials say car bomber attacked mosque in Zafaraniyah district, while

mosque 
Iraqi police say bomb attacks targeting two Shi'ite mosques in Baghdad
have killed at least 16 people and wounded 30 others. The attacks took
place Thursday as worshipers celebrated the holiday of Eid al-Fitr,
which marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Officials say a
car bomber attacked a mosque in the Zafaraniyah district, while a
suicide bomber in another part of Baghdad blew himself up at a separate
mosque. In Diyala province, security officials say at least four people
were killed when gunmen opened fire on a minibus. In a separate
development, the U.S. military in Iraq says coalition forces captured
six suspected terrorists in operations in Mosul and Baghdad.
