    Fatal blast at Sunni mosque north of Baghdad raises fears of increasing sectarian violence.

    Two bombs hidden inside air-conditioning units exploded in a Sunni mosque packed with worshippers north of Baghdad, killing at least 18 people in the latest violence to hit the country.

    [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is weathering its worst bout of attacks in half a decade. The violence has risen significantly since April, intensifying fears of a sectarian civil war and a return to the violence that marked the years following the 2003 US-led invasion.

    The past several months have been the deadliest since 2008. More than 4,000 people have been killed since the start of April, according to UN figures.

    Friday's attack took place in the city of Samarra, where the deputy head of the municipal council said bombs had been placed inside two of the mosque's air-conditioning units. The explosions went off around midday, during Friday prayers. The official, Mizhar Fleih, said the explosion had also wounded at least 21 people.

    Fleih said the Musaab Bin Omair mosque had been heavily damaged in the attack.

    "We are worried that the attacks on Sunni and Shia mosques aim at reigniting the sectarian strife in this country," he added.
    Samarra, 60 miles north of the Iraqi capital, is largely Sunni Muslim and is home to a revered Shia shrine.

    There has been a spike in attacks on Sunni mosques in recent months. While it is possible that Sunni extremists could be to blame, Shia militias that had been largely quiet for years may also be behind the assaults.

    Last week, a similar attack on a Sunni mosque in Baquba, north-east of Baghdad, killed 33 worshippers.

    Iraqi mosque hit by bombs hidden in air conditioning units Empty Iraq: Bomb kills 16 in Sunni mosque

    Two bombs exploded in a Sunni mosque in Iraq as worshippers entered for prayers on Friday, killing 16 people, police and a doctor said.

    The bombs, which hit the Musab bin Omair mosque near Samarra, north of Baghdad, also wounded 15 people, the sources said.
    Militants have carried out numerous attacks on both Sunni and Shiite mosques this year, raising fears of a return to all-out sectarian conflict, which peaked in 2006-2007 and killed thousands of people.

    The February 2006 bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra itself sparked the wave of brutal violence.

    The blasts came a day after the bodies of 10 young men who had been shot dead were found in Baghdad, another reminder of the sectarian conflict in Iraq, during which militants frequently carried out summary executions.

    Violence in Iraq has reached a level not seen since 2008, killing more than 4,200 people since the beginning of the year, according to an estimate based on security and medical sources.
