A suicide bombing ripped through a funeral tent in Iraq on Saturday, the second such attack in days, killing five mourners and six others died in violence elsewhere, AFP quoted police and medics as saying.

The bomber detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle near a funeral tent in the village of Zahra, north of Baghdad, where family members of a deceased man were receiving condolences.

Five people were killed and 10 wounded, two days after a copycat attack in nearby Muqdadiyah killed 10 mourners.  

Also on Saturday, a roadside bomb in an area of Muqdadiyah killed two people and wounded five, while another exploded when people gathered at the scene, wounding four more.

In Baquba, north of the capital, gunmen killed a shopowner, while others shot dead an army officer in the northern city of Mosul.

Gunmen killed a soldier and wounded another in Kirkuk, also in northern
Iraq.

Gunmen also crossed into western Iraq from Syria on Saturday and clashed with border police, leaving one dead and five wounded.
