Four "awakening council" members killed in north Baghdad

KUNA

A roadside bomb killed four members of the so-called "awakening councils" in Al-Shurqat town, north Baghdad, Saturday.

The men lost their lives when their patrol hit an explosive charge in the town located in Salah-Eddin Governorate, Iraqi security source told KUNA here.

The attack left also eight others injured, the source said under condition of anonymity.

The awakening councils are paramilitary groups formed by the Iraqi and the Multi-National forces to back the war against Al-Qaeda Organization in Iraq.
