Another car bomb killed at least 8 people and wounded another 13 while they were celebrating the Ashura day in Iskandariya, 50km south of Baghdad, as reported by medical sources on Friday.
The loud blast apparently happened at 7 pm (1600 GMT), while the people were gathered around the mosque.
According to a senior doctor, the victims were all taken to the closest hospitals, one in the city, the other 95 km from Baghdad, in Hilla.
Fighters are now aiming mostly at the Shia people, wich is the religious group that won the election of January 30.
As members of the former Sunni dictatorship, carried on since 1979 by Saddam Hussein (a Sunni himself), the fighters are against any possible form of power that will re-balance the privileges they always had, especially if this power is going to be used by the Shia government or the hated Americans.
