| (KUNA) -- Four of al-Sahwa (Awakening) militia were killed during a clash with al-Qaeda militants in Falluja western Baghdad, police said on Monday. The confrontation took place when al-Qaeda armed men attacked a check point set by the militia in the nearby area of al-Karma, an Iraqi police source told KUNA. The attack also resulted in injuring one al-Sahwa member and killing two of the attackers, who then fled the scene, he added. This is the third day in a row where security breakthroughs were reported in the volatile Province of al-Anbar, last of which occurred yesterday when a suicide bomber blew himself up after penetrating into a crowd in front of a US-set prison in Falluja. |
