continuing horror in Iraq

Mosque Explosion Kills 46 in Iraq
Sectarian Fighting Undermines Efforts to Stabilize Country

BAGHDAD, Iraq (April 7) - Two suicide attackers wearing women's cloaks blew themselves up Friday in a Shiite mosque in northern Baghdad, killing at least 46 people and wounding scores, police said. It was the second major attack against Shiite targets in as many days.

The violence came as U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad warned that Iraq faces the possibility of sectarian civil war if efforts to build a national unity government do not succeed, and that such a conflict could affect the entire Middle East.
