Suicide bomber kills 7 in Iraqi capital

None

BAGHDAD -- Iraqi officials say a suicide bomber targeting Shiite pilgrims has killed seven people and wounded more than 20 in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

 

They say the bomber struck an aid station set up for pilgrims in a western neighborhood on Saturday, and that the toll was expected to rise. No one immediately claimed the attack, but the Islamic State group has repeatedly targeted Iraq's Shiite majority and security forces.
