At least 18 people were killed and 41 wounded when a suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt at the funeral of a pro-government Shi'ite Muslim fighter in a southwestern Baghdad district on Friday, police and medical sources said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, the ISIS group who control large parts of the country's north and west frequently set off bombs in the capital.
