Baghdad (CNN) -- Gunmen shot and killed 65 people and injured 17 others in a Sunni Muslim mosque during Friday prayers in Iraq's Diyala province northeast of Baghdad, police officials in the province said.
The unidentified attackers used automatic machine guns in the Musab bin Omar mosque in the village of Bani Weis, police said.
Bani Weis is about 75 kilometers northeast of the provincial capital, Baquba.
It wasn't immediately clear who was behind the attack. Both Sunni militants and Shiite Muslim militias have been active in the province.
