25 killed in suicide bombing at Iraqi funeral

Thursday, May 15, 2008

A suicide bomber has killed at least 25 people at a funeral ceremony to the west of Baghdad today.

The bomber blew himself up inside a funeral tent in the village of Abu Munasir.

The service was being attended by Sunni Muslim tribesmen who have formed US-backed militias to fight against al-Qaida in Iraq.

Al-Qa'ida has repeatedly attacked tribesmen involved in these so-called "awakening" militias.
