Suicide Bomber Kills Iraqi Sunnis

With a recent presentation in class on the Sunni's and Shiite, I thought this article was very interesting and pertained to the information we have gone through in class. On the BBC news on Saturday, and story was posted pertaining to a suicide bomber who attack a US-allied Sunni militia group in Iraq. The bomber struck a group of Sunni military men as they were waiting to receive paychecks at an army post. This group in particular had been established through US sponsorship to cut violent threats and future attacks in the "Triangle of Death" as this area has been termed. Such a name was placed on the area as the town has been the target of a number of violent attacks in the past. Several concerns have been raised with this bombing, as the instance of suicide bombing has raised in the past weeks following the meeting of the Iraq government and the Awakening council (group that was targeted). Yet, of biggest concern may be the future plans of withdrawn US troops and the unstable security situation in Iraq.
