At least 40 people have been killed in an attack in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, police have said.
The bomb on Friday hit a Shia mosque used by members of the Turkmen minority in a village just outside Mosul.
A police said worshippers were walking to an annex of the mosque during a condolence ceremony on Friday when the explosives, hidden in a car parked nearby, were detonated.
About 180 people were injured in the blast and authorities urged citizens to donate blood to the hospitals.
The attack came after at least five people were killed and eight injured when three roadside bombs exploded in Sadr City in northeastern Baghdad.
Pilgrims targeted
The blasts struck minibuses carrying Shia pilgrims home from a pilgrimage in Iraq's city of Karbala.
Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims had flocked to Karbala a day earlier.
Later on Friday, six people were killed and 30 injured after a car bomb struck a crowded market in the mixed Sunni-Shia Khadra neighborhood in western Baghdad.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
On Thursday, a roadside bomb hit pilgrims on their way to Karbala, killing one and wounding four others.
