<p>Another 58 people were wounded in the attack in Muqdadiyah, about 60 miles north of Baghdad, according to security and hospital officials.</p>
<p>The dead included a local commander from Asaib Ahl al-Haq, a powerful Shiite militia which is part of the state-sanctioned Popular Mobilisation Forces, responsible for much of the security in the area.</p>
<p>The attacker was wearing a suicide vest and entered the funeral hall among mourners lining up to pay their respects, according to a local security official.</p>
<p>IS bombed a cafe frequented by militiamen in Muqdadiyah in January, killing at least 32 people and triggering a wave of revenge attacks on Sunni mosques and civilians.</p>
<p>Human Rights Watch blamed the reprisal attacks on powerful militias within the Popular Mobilisation Forces.</p>
<p>IS claimed responsibility for the latest attack in a statement posted online, the day after a double bombing in Baghdad claimed by IS killed 73 people.</p>
<p>The initial blast ripped through a crowded market in the Shiite district of Sadr City. A suicide bomber then targeted the crowd that gathered to help the victims.</p>
<p>Sunday&#8217;s bombings marked the deadliest single attack in the Iraqi capital in months, fuelling fears that IS is resorting to mass attacks on civilians as it suffers battlefield setbacks.</p>
<p>IS still controls much of northern and western Iraq but has been driven back in recent months.</p>
<p>The government recently declared the western city of Ramadi &#8220;fully liberated&#8221;, after IS captured it last year.</p>
