BAGHDAD, Iraq - Five suicide bombers, including one on a bicycle,
hurled themselves into crowds and set off explosives yesterday, killing
55 people and wounding 150 in a wave of mayhem intended to disrupt
Ashoura, the holiest day in Shiite Islam....

In a fifth suicide attack, a suicide bomber rode a bicycle into a tent
full of mourners at a funeral in southwest Baghdad, killing three
people and wounding 55. Unlike the other attacks, which were carried
out against Shiites, the bomber struck a crowd of Sunnis.

The fact was not lost on the survivors, who lay bandaged and bleeding
inside Yarmouk Hospital.

"He was an idiot," said Um Seif, a 37-year-old housewife, who lay
bandaged in a bed. "It was a Sunni funeral, not a Shia one."
