   BAGHDAD (AP) -- A suicide bomber struck a funeral north of Baghdad on Monday, killing at least 10 mourners, officials said.
   The bomber blew himself up inside a funeral tent in an agricultural area outside the mainly Sunni town of Taji, about 22 kilometers (12 miles) north of Baghdad, a police officer said. Another 20 mourners were wounded, he added.
   Two medical officials confirmed the casualty figures, updating a previous toll. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release the information.

   No one has claimed responsibility for attack, but it bore the hallmarks of the Islamic State group, which frequently targets Sunnis allied with the Shiite-led government. The extremist group captured large swaths of western and northern Iraq earlier this year.
