BAGHDAD — As Muslims celebrated the close of the fasting month of Ramadan, suicide bombers killed at least 20 people in attacks on two Shi’ite prayer halls during early morning prayers in different areas of Baghdad early Thursday, the Interior Ministry said.
The attacks were the second wave this week during a lengthy public holiday covering observances of the Id al-Fitr feast, which is celebrated at different times by Sunnis and Shi’ites at the end of Ramadan.
In the middle class Zafraniya district, which is regarded as home to a mixed population of different faiths, a car bomber rammed a taxi into an armored vehicle guarding the entrance to a compound, killing eight people, including two Iraqi soldiers, the Interior Ministry said.
Reuters quoted one of its cameramen at the scene in Zafraniya as saying a leg and other body parts were thrown more than 100 yards.
In the second attack, a bomber wearing an explosive vest tried to enter a prayer hall in the predominantly Shi’ite New Baghdad area, killing 12 people and injuring at least 25.
Last Sunday, five bomb attacks struck Baghdad, three of them aimed at civilians who were out holiday shopping and strolling. Security sources said at least 27 people were killed and 84 wounded.
The bombings reinforced fears that the security situation in the city was deteriorating, even though it remained at the most stable level since the American-led invasion in 2003, according to data measured by the United States military command.
The worst of the Sunday bombings, in a bustling market in the central Karada district, seemed intended to inflict casualties on people preparing to celebrate the holiday marking the end of Ramadan. Sunnis began celebrating earlier this week but Shi’ites marked the occasion later.
“This year Iraq has had three Id al-Fitrs. One for the Sunnis, one for the Shiites, and one for the Sistanist Shiites,” Anwar Ali reported on The New York Times Baghdad Bureau blog. The last group is made up of followers of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the most senior Shi’ite cleric, who lives in Najaf.
