Suicide attack on Shi'ite pilgrims in Iraq kills 30
                 
A suicide bomber blew himself up on Thursday during a Shi'ite Muslim religious ritual in the eastern Iraqi city of al-Sadiya, killing at least 30 people and wounding 67, a senior local official and police said.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which came on the final day of Ashura, a 10-day Shi'ite ritual.

Ashura attracts hundreds of thousands of Shiites. It's often targeted by Sunni extremists who consider Shiites to be heretics.                 

Violence has spiked in Iraq since April with more than 5,500 killed, according to UN figures.
