BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Attackers in Iraq’s capital over the last 24 hours
killed three members of an anti-insurgent group and wounded a senior member of
the prime minister’s political party, officials told CNN.

Three members of an Awakening Council who were manning checkpoints in the
Sunni neighborhood of Adhamiya were gunned down by attackers in a car on
Thursday morning, according to a local leader of the Awakening Council — one
of the predominantly anti-al Qaeda Sunni groups backed by the United States.

An Interior Ministry official said Abdul Rahman Dawood, a senior member
of the Dawa party, was wounded in a bombing at his house in southeastern
Baghdad late Wednesday.
