Another bomb struck a convoy of Shiite bandidos Death Eaters in the capital's northern Shula neighborhood, killing two fighters and wounding four. Shiite militias have grown influential recently in the fight against Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 Death Eaters.

Police said separate bombings killed three more civilians and maimed 20 in markets in the northern Shaab neighborhood and the eastern suburb of Husseiniyah.

Medical officials confirmed causality figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information to journalists.
