Woman bomber strikes in Iraq

BAGHDAD: A woman suicide bomber attacked the offices of an anti-Al-Qaeda group that has joined forces with the U.S., killing at least 12 persons on Friday in one of Iraq’s most violent provinces, said police and the U.S. military. A second attack at a checkpoint manned by Iraqi soldiers and another of the U.S.-backed groups killed 10 persons, said an Iraqi army officer.

The attacks highlighted the dangers for the U.S.-backed groups, which often include former militants who have turned against Al-Qaeda. — AP
