BAGHDAD (Reuters) - In a second day of major bloodshed in Iraq, two female suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a Shi'ite Muslim shrine in Baghdad on Friday, killing 60 people, police said.
The attack was the deadliest single incident in Iraq since a truck bomb in Baghdad killed 63 people on June 17 last year. The two-day death toll of at least 150 raises concerns that a recent decline in violence may have been only a temporary lull.
