(Reuters) - A suicide bomber blew himself up inside a Sunni mosque in central Iraq, killing at least 20 people in the middle of a sermon on Friday.

The explosion took place in the town of Wajihiya in the ethnically and religiously diverse province of Diyala, which has seen an increasing number of attacks in recent weeks.

It was unclear who was behind the blast, the latest in a campaign of attacks that has raised fears of a return to full-blown sectarian conflict in a country where Kurds, Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims have yet to find a stable way of sharing power.

"I was in the first row of people praying. We were listening to the preacher give his sermon. Suddenly, a huge explosion shook the place," 22-year-old student Salman Ubaid told Reuters."I fainted and later found myself lying on the floor in Wajihiyia hospital with some shrapnel in the head," he added.

Laxmi had filed a case in the Supreme Court seeking harsher punishment for those :

who use acid to attack women ( temple in background )

Media in India are praising activist Laxmi as a "crusader for change" for her fight to bring a tougher law to curb acid attacks on women.

In 2006, she was 15 when a man splashed acid on her face because she spurned his advances.
