Attack on Kurdish official's funeral kills 20

[Guest guest]

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A

suicide attack Sunday in Iraq during the funeral of an assassinated Kurdish

official killed at least 20 people, according to the deputy governor of Nineveh province.

Kahsro Goran said the explosion, in the northern town of Tal

Afar, was a car bomb, but a medical official said the attacker was wearing a

vest packed with explosives. At least 50 other people were wounded.

The Kurdish Democratic Party member who was being buried had

been killed Saturday in Mosul.

Earlier Sunday, at least

13 Iraqis were killed and 12 others wounded in three attacks in Baghdad, Iraqi police said.

A suicide car bomber targeted a U.S. military convoy in the

southeastern district of al-Za'faraniyah, killing five Iraqi civilians,

including a 5-year-old. Iraqi police said the car bomb also wounded 12 others.

There was no immediate word about U.S. casualties.

In southeastern Baghdad, five Iraqi police officers were killed in a battle with about 30

insurgents at a police checkpoint, Iraqi police said. Insurgents attacked with

small arms fire in the al-Rustumiya neighborhood, police said. After the

battle, the insurgents took weapons from the bodies and fled, police said.
