Iraqi officials said the death toll from the Tuesday blast in Hurriyah had risen to 63, including women and children. AP Television filmed hundreds of mourners attending a funeral procession for the victims in Hurriyah on Wednesday. Meanwhile, many of the injured, including children, were being treated at Baghdad's al-Kadhimiyah Teaching Hospital. No group claimed responsibility for the blast, which occurred on a bustling commercial street in Hurriyah. The US spokesman said the command did not believe al-Qaida in Iraq was behind the attack based on the type of vehicle and explosives used. Instead, he said the command believed the attack was carried out by a Shiite special group led by Haydar Mehdi Khadum al-Fawadi. The blast was the deadliest in the capital in more than three months. The attack shattered the relative calm in the capital since a May 11 cease-fire ended seven weeks of fighting between US and Iraqi forces and Shiite militants in the Sadr City district. It came the same day the Iraqi parliament announced plans to move outside the U.S.-protected Green Zone.
