BAGHDAD -- A suicide bomber detonated an explosives-packed car near a funeral procession in Baghdad on Friday, killing at least 32 people - including six policemen who were guarding the march - in the latest brazen attack since the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq.
Police said the blast struck around 11:00 a.m. in the predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Zafaraniyah, where mourners had gathered for the funeral of a person killed the day before. They said 65 people were wounded in the attack, including 16 police.
Hospital officials confirmed the death toll.
