BAGHDAD (AFP)--A suicide bomber blew himself up Tuesday at a Shiite Muslim religious hall in north Baghdad, killing at least 15 people, security officials said, the latest in a surge in nationwide violence.
The blast took place shortly after midday prayers in the Habib ibn al-Mudhaher Hussainiyah in the capital's Qahira neighborhood, the interior ministry and police officials said.
At least 30 people were wounded in the attack.
