Car bomb kills eight near Iraqi city of Mosul


Map
Eight people have been killed by a car bomb attack near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
The attack targeted a Shia community outside this city, which is predominately Sunni.
Children were among the victims of the bombing, which also left at least four people injured.
On Saturday, a suicide bomber killed more than 50 people in an attack on Shia pilgrims in the city of Basra, in southern Iraq.
Scores of people have been killed in recent weeks in attacks targeting the Shia community, as they mark the religious festival of Arbaeen.
A political crisis in Iraq has seen tensions rise between the country's Shia majority and Sunni minority since the US troop withdrawal in December.
