QQ Five soldiers and a woman were killed and eight people wounded in separate bomb attacks in west of Baghdad on Tuesday, a local police source told Xinhua.In early hours of the day, gunmen blew up bombs in the house of an Awakening Council group member in Abu Ghraib area, some 20 km west of Baghdad, and destroyed parts of the house, the source said on condition of anonymity.
The group member survived the attack as he was not at home when the attack took place, but his house was partially destroyed and his wife was killed, the source said.
Two of the group member sons and two women inside the house were also wounded by the blasts, the source added.
Afterwards, a roadside bomb went off as an Iraqi army force rushed to the scene, damaging a military vehicle and killing three soldiers aboard, he said, adding that two more soldiers were also wounded by the blast.
The Awakening Council group, or al-Sahwa in Arabic, consists of paramilitary groups, including some powerful anti-U.S. Sunni insurgent groups, who turned their rifles against the al-Qaida network after the latter exercised indiscriminate killings against both Shiite and Sunni Muslim communities.
Separately, a roadside bomb struck an Iraqi army patrol in Abu Ghraib area, close to the notorious Abu Ghraib prison, destroying a military vehicle and killing two soldiers aboard and wounding two others, the source said.
Violence and sporadic high-profile bomb attacks continue in the Iraqi cities despite the dramatic decrease of violence over the last three years.
