Buratha Mosque hit again; dozens martyred, hurt
By: Ismail Zabeeh
BAGHDAD, Iraq: A suicide shoe bomber on
Friday attacked Buratha Mosque in northwestern Baghdad leaving
more than a dozen worshippers martyred and over 30 injured.
Buratha mosque is a sacred place in sight of Muslims and
Christians as well.
More than 97 worshippers were martyred and over 180 others
wounded in a series of suicide bombings by men dressed as
women April 7 at the mosque, also carried out during Friday
prayers.
The blast came less than an hour before the Friday prayers,
when the Buratha mosque would have been filled with thousands
of worshippers.
The bomber was on foot due to a four-hour driving ban in the
city intended to prevent car bombs during Friday prayers.
The streets of Baghdad are also under the watch of more than
50,000 troops taking part in a massive security operation that
began earlier this week. The troops have set up more
checkpoints and enforcing more stringent curfews.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
