Iraqi police blame US air strikes for mosque blast, gov't say "terrorists"

BAGHDAD, Iraq - An Iraqi government agency said Wednesday that "terrorists," not a U.S. airstrike, were to blame for an explosion at a mosque in Baqouba that left four people dead. The blast also wounded 16 people late Tuesday in the city 35 miles north of Baghdad, and police originally blamed an American strike.

The Shiite Endowment, an agency that cares for Shiite shrines, blamed terrorists for the blast, which caused extensive damage to the mosque. The agency demanded that the authorities protect places of worship.
