A suicide bomber has killed at least 21 people at a funeral in the iraqi capital while an ambush has halted government forces` advance on a key northern city controlled by ISIL fighters, agencies report.
Saturday`s blast in the Harthiyah area, which also wounded at least 30 people, is the latest in a string of bombings in the Iraqi capital that have killed dozens of people in recent days. There was no immediate claim for the attack, but suicide bombings are almost exclusively carried out by Sunni fighters in Iraq, including members of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levante (ISIL) group, which has seized large areas of Iraq since June
