More Violence in Iraq

There was more violence in Baghdad on Friday, as a suicide bomber detonated a car filled with explosives near a funeral procession in a Shia area. At least 30 people were killed.

The incident seems to be part of a growing pattern of attacks on Shias since the US pulled out of Iraq last month.
