BAQUBA, Iraq: Two bombs exploded as members of a government-backed Sunni militia gathered to collect their pay in the Iraqi city of Baquba today, killing six people and wounding dozens, security and health officials said.

A suicide bomber detonated an explosive vest among members of the Sahwa militia near the gates of a military headquarters in western Baquba, and a car bomb blew up nearby a few minutes later, security sources and witnesses said.

Baquba, the capital of restive Diyala province and a former al Qaeda stronghold, is about 65 km (40 miles) northeast of Baghdad. (Reuters)
