| 2014-12-25 |
| [EDITION.CNN] A jacket wallah killed 38 people and maimed dozens more in a town near Baghdad on Wednesday, police said. The attacker detonated explosives near Awakening Council members in al-Madaan, a town roughly 20 kilometers southeast of Baghdad, as they were collecting their monthly paychecks at the council's headquarters. The Awakening Councils are predominantly made up of Sunni Arab fighters in Iraq who turned against al Qaeda in late 2006. |
