BAGHDAD — Iraqi officials say a suicide bomber has targeted a mosque in central Baghdad, killing at least 17 worshipers. A police officer says the attacker blew up his explosives-laden vest as people were leaving the Al-Khairat mosque in Baghdad’s Sinak commercial area following noon prayers on Monday. He says at least 25 people were wounded in the explosion. The attack comes a day after a suicide bombing targeted a mosque in the capital’s western Harithiya neighborhood, killing 28 worshipers. — AP
