In addition, gunmen carried out a pre-dawn attack on the house of a leader of a government-backed Sahwa paramilitary group in the town of Madain, some 30 km south of Baghdad, sparking a clash with the guards of the house that left the leader's brother killed and two of the attackers dead, the source said.
The Sahwa militia, also known as the Awakening Council or the Sons of Iraq, consists of armed groups, including some former anti- U.S. Sunni insurgent groups, who turned their rifles against the al-Qaida network after its leaders became dismayed by al-Qaida's brutality and religious zealotry in the country.
Iraq is witnessing its worst eruption of violence in recent years. According to the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq, almost 7, 000 Iraqis were killed and over 16,000 others injured from January to October this year.
