In Iraq, a suicide bomber on a motorcycle has struck a checkpoint
in a Sunni neighbourhood of Baghdad, killing 15 people and injuring
29 others.
The checkpoint was being manned by United States-backed
gunmen, who have agreed to root-out al-Qaeda members. Al-Qaeda in
Iraq has suffered a big set-back since local tribes agreed to turn
against it, and it is often blamed for attacks on such checkpoints.
