Back-to-back suicide bombings have killed 60 people outside the most important Shiite shrine in Baghdad, a day after the country was rocked by its most deadly violence in more than a year.
The bombings are the latest in a series of high-profile attacks blamed on Sunni insurgents, police officials said.
The latest bombers detonated explosive belts within minutes of each other near separate gates of the tomb of prominent Shiite saint Imam Mousa al-Kazim, located in the northern neighbourhood of Kazimiyah, said a police official.

As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ramps up Democratic pressure for a torture “truth commission,” a Republican Congressman is firing back that should any Bush officials get prosecuted, his party needs to go nuclear.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., told Politico that the GOP should “shut down” legislative activity across the board – if any Bush-era officials are singled out for prosecution.
“We would need to have a scorched-earth policy and use procedural means to bring the place to a halt – go to war,” he added.
