Suicide bomber kills 20 west of Baghdad: police
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed 20 people and wounded dozens more when he blew himself up at a funeral west of Baghdad on Wednesday, Iraqi police said.
There was no claim of responsibility, but suspicion is likely to fall on al Qaeda in Iraq militants.
The group is blamed for most suicide attacks in Iraq.
