Bombing in Iraq is not so important until any foreigner is killed in the incident.Last day they killed five US soldiers in the bombing incident, and today a suicide bomber blew himself to kill Sunni people, in this incident he killed 9 Sunni militiamen.

How Obama is going to handle the situation, both on Iraqi as well Afgan front.In Iraq it is over and in Afganistan it is not yet clear how long it will take.But these upsurge in bombing incidents sending a clear signal that, once the troops withdraws from the iIraqi soil the situation will deterioate further.

A suicide bomber targeted a group of Sunni Arab militia men in the southern Iraqi province of Babel Saturday as they queued at an Iraqi army post to collect paychecks, killing 9 and wounding 31, police said.

The U.S.-sponsored Sunni patrolmen, or Sahwas, helped cut violence in Iraq after they turned on al Qaeda and other insurgent groups, but ties between them and the Shi'ite-led government in Baghdad have been strained in recent weeks by the arrest of Sahwa leaders.
