BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) - Suicide attacks outside two separate Shiite mosques killed at least 11 people in Baghdad Thursday as worshippers left early morning prayers to mark the end of Ramadan, the Interior Ministry said.

The suicide bomb blasts also wounded 30 others, a ministry official said.

The bombs went off as worshippers left the mosques to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of a month of fasting.
