Bad day to be a sahwa, I guess ...
DIALA / Aswat al-Iraq: A sahwa (awakening) tribal fighter was killed and five others, including three sahwa men, wounded in an improvised explosive device (IED) attack west of Baaquba city on Friday, a local police source in Diala said.

“An IED went off near a vehicle driven by a sahwa leader in a-Katoun neighborhood, (3 km) west of Baaquba, leaving him killed and five others wounded,' the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. The source did not give further details.
