Suicide bomber attacks Sunni militia in Baghdad


    BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber on Sunday attacked government-backed Sunni militia as they lined up to be paid in western Baghdad, killing at least three and wounding nine, Iraqi police said.

    The blast in the Sunni district of Radwaniya occurred as political deadlock continued in the war-damaged country following a March election that produced no outright winner and as yet no new government.
