Nearly a hundred more were injured when the blast went off at a funeral at a Shiite mosque.
The funeral was for a government employee, who had been shot and killed, on Tuesday.
Many of the dead and wounded were other government workers, attending the funeral of their friend and colleague.
That includes various elected officials all the way up to a deputy governor.
No one claimed the attack, but it is thought to be the work of Al Qaeda, which is a Sunni organization.
This was the fifth time, in January, that more than twenty people have been killed in a single day.
