Seven killed in Iraq attacks Sat Nov 10, 6:39 AM ET BAGHDAD (AFP) - At least seven people were killed on Saturday in Iraq, a day after a suicide bombing claimed the lives of four tribal leaders fighting Al-Qaeda, security officials said. Four civilians were killed when a roadside bomb struck their bus in the centre of the northern city of Mosul, police Brigadier General Abdel Karim al-Juburi said. Another six people, including a woman and her daughter, were wounded in the morning attack in the city's Raas al-Jadha area, he said. Two people were killed in a roadside bomb attack in Baghdad, while a street vendor walking on a road in the city of Baquba was shot dead by unknown gunmen, security officials said. The early morning bombing in Baghdad's eastern Al-Baladiyat neighbourhood that also wounded seven civilians was aimed at police but instead hit a minibus, an official said. "The explosion missed a police patrol and ripped through a bus carrying civilians," he said. The latest attacks came after a suicide bomber exploded his vest inside a house on Friday, killing four tribal leaders spearheading the fight against Al-Qaeda in the restive Diyala province, police and the US military said. The attack took place late Friday in Sheikh Taha al-Obeidi's home in Dojemah, near the town of Khalis about 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of Baghdad, Khalis police official Lieutenant Colonel Mohammed al-Obeidi said. "Several people were inside the house. The explosion killed four tribal leaders, all members of the Diyala Awakening Council," Obeidi said. "The chief of the Awakening council in Khalis district, Sheikh Fayez Lafta, was among those killed." The US military in a statement said Lafta and two other people had been killed in what it said was a bombing, but it gave few other details. A doctor at the hospital in Khalis said the facility had received the bodies of four people. Awakening Councils have sprung up across Iraq, structured along the lines of the Anbar Awakening Council formed by Sunni tribal sheikhs in the western Iraqi province of Anbar to fight the Al-Qaeda in Iraq group. Al-Qaeda has warned it will target leaders working alongside the US military against insurgents, and claimed the September 13 killing in a car bombing of the leader of the Anbar Awakening Council, Abdul Sattar Abu Reesha. On October 4, a roadside bomb near the city of Samarra killed the leader of the Awakening Council of central Salaheddin province, Sheikh Maawia Naji Jebara, and wounded his deputy Sheikh Sabah Mutashar al-Shimmary. Eleven days later, a gun attack on a convoy of members of the Salaheddin council killed three people and wounded five.
