At least 32 people have been killed in two explosions outside a Sunni mosque in Baquba, 50 miles (30 km) outside Baghdad, after Friday prayers, police said.<\/p>\n

Another blast was reported by Al Jazeera southeast of the
\ncapital where a suicide bomber hit a funeral procession, the death

The news comes after eleven people were killed in series of bomb

\nThursday.<\/p>\n

In the Kirkuk attack, five people were killed after a suicide
\nbomber detonated his explosive vest at the entrance to a Shiite
\nmosque.<\/p>\n

While in the suburb of Sadr city in Baghdad three people and
\nkilled and 17 injured. A further blast in Baghdad a car bomb blew
\nup outside a market in the Chukook neighborhood, which killed one
\nbystander.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Militant attacks on Sunni and Shiite mosques as well as against
\nsecurity forces and tribal leaders have mushroomed since security
\nforces aided a Sunni protest camp in Kirkuk a month ago, fuelling
\nfear that Iraq may slide back into all out-sectarian war.<\/p>\n

Overall violence in Iraq has dropped since its peak in
\n2005-2007, but tensions between Sunnis and Shiites have remained
\nhigh since the US led invasion of the country in 2003.<\/p>\n

Iraq has grown more volatile since the start of the civil war
\ntwo years ago in neighboring Syria, which has also pitted Sunnis
\nagainst Shiites.<\/p>\n
