A roadside bomb followed by a suicide bombing near a Shiite mosque south of Baghdad killed at least six people and wounded 19 on Friday, security and medical officials said.
AFP reports that the first blast struck as worshipers were leaving Friday prayers, while the suicide bomber detonated explosives after security forces arrived.
Security forces members were among the dead and wounded, but the exact number was not immediately clear.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but Sunni extremists, including the ISIS jihadist group, often carry out bombings targeting Shiites, whom they consider heretics.
