Blast outside Iraq mosque kills 6

At least six people were killed and 39 injured yesterday in an explosion outside a Shiite mosque in the town of Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, after the end of main weekly prayers, medics said.
"Five people were killed and 39 people injured in an explosion near the Haj Sadek Banin mosque," said Ziad Tarek, a doctor at the general hospital in Baquba, 60km from Baghdad.
Baquba, in Diyala province, is populated by a mixture of Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
Unknown attackers strapped a gas cylinder packed with explosives to a bicycle and left it outside the mosque -- close to people praying on the pavement because of lack of space inside.
"At the end of prayers, it exploded," Iraqi police Sergeant
Haki Ismail Mustafa told Reuters. Officials at a nearby hospital said they knew of 39 people injured.
Another report says, Iraqi guerillas early yesterday fired two rocket-propelled grenades at a Baghdad hotel used by foreign companies, contracted by the US-led coalition, but there were no casualties, said security guards with the firms.
"The first and fourth floors were hit. No one was wounded," said one of the guards from the companies, hired by the coalition.
The attack happened at around 6 am local time on the Bourj al-Hayat hotel, which has cement barriers shielding it from the street, in central Baghdad.

and Dohuk, are in a neighbouring hotel.
One security guard described four men jumping out of an Opel car and firing two RPGs before speeding off.
A loud explosion was followed by several bursts of machine gun fire and then a second blast. A witness claimed the men were masked.
AFP from Washington adds: A US Air Force C-5 cargo plane carrying 63 passengers and crew was apparently hit by a missile Thursday as it took off from Baghdad aiport, a senior US defense official said.
One of its engine exploded, but it managed to land safely, officials said.
