Suicide bombings at Iraq wedding kill at least 26
Samrra - Arab Today
Two suicide bombers attacked a celebration being held the night before a wedding north of Tikrit, killing at least 26 people, a police officer said on Thursday.
The bombings in the Al Hajaj area, north of the city, also wounded 25 people.
"The first blew himself up at 8:30 pm [9.30pm UAE Wednesday] amid men who were dancing during the celebration," while the second attacked a few minutes later, a police lieutenant colonel said.
The bombers detonated explosive belts, the officer said. A doctor at a local hospital confirmed the toll.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but ISIL extremist group carries out frequent suicide bombings targeting both civilians and members of the security forces in Iraq.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
