Attack on Iraqi Mosque Leaves 37 Dead

Two gunmen attacked a mosque in Qahira, Iraq, on Tuesday.

They opened fire killing three guards on the outside, then moved to the inside of the mosque and blew themselves up.

The blast killed thirty-four and injured fifty-seven.

Many worshipers at the mosque come from the nearby Shiite Islamic university.

Shiite neighborhoods are a common target for Sunni extremist groups, including Al Qaeda.

Iraqi officials are blaming Al Qaeda for the attack.
