Dozens killed in suicide bombings at Sunni militia meetings in IraqTwo suicide bombers killed at least 35 people at gatherings of government-backed Sunni militia members Sunday,security officials saiid. The two morning attacks come in the midst of a continued political impasse more than four months after Iraq's national election.

The bloodiest bombing occurred southwest of Baghdad in the district of Radwaniyah. As dozens of "Sahwa" militiamen lined up outside an Iraqi Army office to collect paychecks, a suicide bomber killed at least 32 and wounded scores of others.

In Al Qaim, near the Syrian border, another suicide bomber entered a meeting of Sahwa, also known as Sons of Iraq, killing three leaders and wounding four others.

The latest attack on Sunni militiamen is part of what appears to be a continued effort by insurgent groups to destabilize an already war-torn nation as Iraq's political elite battle over top jobs in Iraq's next government. It is unclear when a government will be formed.

Sahwa has continuously come under attack by Sunni Islamist insurgent groups connected to al-Qaeda in Iraq. The Sahwa, many former Sunni insurgents, are seen as traitors for turning on al-Qaeda with the help of the U.S. military.
