STORYLINE :
Relatives and friends of Shiite Muslims killed in a deadly mosque attack buried their dead on Saturday, carrying coffins through the streets of several Baghdad neighbourhoods, chanting religious rites and beating their heads and chests.
At least 79 people were killed and more than 160 wounded in Friday''s attack by suicide bombers who blasted worshippers as they left the Buratha mosque in northern Baghdad.
Several hours earlier, the Interior Ministry warned the public to avoid crowds near mosques and markets because of a car bomb threat.
At the Sadr City procession, children held each other and cried, screaming out "Oh, father!"
Daylight revealed the impact of the blast on the structure of the mosque and of buildings surrounding it.
"We condemn all the criminal acts which are made by the hands of terrorists who do not discriminate between the young, the old between Muslims and non-Muslims," said one mourner in the Sadr City neighbourhood.
Friday''s attack was the second in two days against a Shiite religious site.
On Thursday, a car bomb exploded about 300 metres from the Imam Ali mosque in Najaf, killing 10 people.
Najaf, 100 miles (160 kilometre''s) south of Baghdad, is the most sacred city in Iraq for Shiite Muslims.
On Saturday, mourners carried coffins of those killed in the blast through the city''s streets.
No group has claimed responsibility for either attack, although suspicion has fallen on Sunni extremists responsible for numerous bombings against Shiite civilians.
