Bombs at Sunni funeral in Iraq kill 14

Iraqi officials say a double bombing at a Sunni funeral in Baghdad today has killed 14 people.
It was the third day in a row in which funerals were attacked in the Iraqi capital.
They say the blasts hit near a mourning tent for one of four people killed two days before when gunmen shot up a store discretely selling liquor in the Sunni neighbourhood of Azamiyah.

The Azamiyah shooting was believed to be carried out by hard-line Sunni militants, who are most likely to attack liquor stores in Sunni areas.
