  • Story Text: A car bomb exploded near a mosque in Baghdad on Sunday (April 16), killing four people and wounding seven, police said.
    There were no further details on the attack in eastern Baghdad.
    A wave of bombings against Shi'ite mosques in Baghdad has stepped up pressure on Iraqi leaders to bury their differences and form a government they hope can avert a sectarian civil war.
    It was not clear if Sunday's bombing in Baghdad occurred near a Shi'ite or Sunni mosque.
