19 killed in suicide bomber strike in market near Fallujah
A suicide bomber struck a gathering of anti-al Qaida tribal leaders in troubled Anbar province on Tuesday, blowing up his car as they met, killing at least 19 people, according to officials.
The elders belonged to the al-Buissa tribe, a majority of whom have joined in an alliance, the Anbar Salvation Council, against the group al-Qaeda in Iraq, Iraqi officials said. At least 15 people were killed and 13 were wounded, according to Marine Maj. Jeff Pool, a military spokesman. (AP)
