Suicide Bomber Kills 18 at Iraqi Funeral

A suicide bomber apparently targeting a senior security official blew himself up inside a funeral tent on Monday, killing 18 people in the latest of a series of deadly attacks chipping away at the notion of a calmer Iraq. The U.S. military has repeatedly warned that the fight against insurgents is not over, and the bombing in a village north of Baghdad was the third in as many days in Sunni Arab areas thought to have been largely rid of al-Qaida militants.
