Bomb kills 11 worshippers at Iraq mosque

A bomb has killed 11 people and wounded 22 as they left a mosque after Eid al-Adha prayers in Iraq's northern city of Kirkuk.

A bomb has ripped through a crowd of worshippers as they left a mosque in Iraq after prayers marking the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday, killing 11 people, police and a doctor say.

The blast on Tuesday near a Sunni mosque in the northern city of Kirkuk also wounded 22 people, the sources said.

An AFP photographer at the scene said bodies, their clothes covered in blood, were placed in the back of a small police pickup truck to be taken away. Bright red blood stained the street.

Angry and grieving worshippers railed against those who carried out the attack, shouting, "God take revenge on those who are evil!"

Eid al-Adha is the biggest Muslim holiday of the year.
