Bombs damage Shiite shrine in Baquba amid sectarian tension
Bombs and explosions damaged a Shiite shrine east of Baquba late Saturday, the site attacked for the second time this year. In Baghdad gunmen killed the son of Iraq's top judge as PM designate tries to form a unity government amid rising sectarian tension. The Imam Abdullah Ali al Hadi shrine attack follows February’s bombing of the Samarra Golden Dome, which sparked a surge in Sunni-Shiite violence.
