Bomber strikes Iraq funeral


A suicide bomber has killed at least 20 people and wounded dozens more at a funeral being attended by Sunni Arab tribesmen opposed to al-Qaeda.
 
Police said the bomber blew himself up inside the funeral tent in the village of Abu Munasir, in Anbar province, west of Baghdad on Wednesday.
 
Forty people were wounded.
No group has come forward to say it carried out the attack.
 
Police said the funeral was for Taha Obaid, a school headmaster who had been shot dead a day earlier.
