Suicide bomber attacks Sunni militia in Baghdad

BAGHDAD, July 18 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber on Sunday attacked government-backed Sunni militia as they lined up to be paid in western Baghdad, killing at least three and wounding nine, Iraqi police said.

The blast in the Sunni district of Radwaniya occurred as political deadlock continued in the war-damaged country following a March election that produced no outright winner and as yet no new government. (Reporting by Reuters Television; Writing by Michael Christie; Editing by Elizabeth Fullerton)
