A suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest killed at least nine people and injured 31 others Saturday in Iraq's interior, officials said.

The bomber struck about 10:30 a.m. Saturday in the town of al-Iskandariya, about 40 kilometers (24 miles) south of Baghdad, said an official with Iraq's Interior Ministry.

Members of "awakening councils" were visiting their headquarters to collect salaries at the time of the attack.

Iraqi soldiers and members of the councils were among the killed and wounded.

Awakening councils, also known as Sons of Iraq, are primarily a Sunni movement composed of former insurgents or sympathizers who have turned against al Qaeda.

The U.S. military credits the councils with having played a key role in bringing about the nationwide drop in violence that coincided with the "surge" in U.S. forces in Iraq.

Iskandariya is in Babel province.

....and many more to come!

Ramallah - Palestinian security officials said on Sunday that they had found a Hamas bomb-making factory underneath a mosque in the occupied West Bank.

"Security forces found a bomb-making factory inside a mosque in Qalqiliya," an Interior Ministry statement said. "Many of the bombs were ready to use and many of them were of industrial grade."

A senior security official told AFP that Fatah-led Palestinian security forces had detained "many" people for questioning after the discovery, saying: "This factory belongs to Hamas."

The revelation was likely to increase tensions between the two main factions whose long-running feud exploded in June 2007 when the Islamist Hamas group booted out Fatah loyalists from Gaza after a week of deadly street battles.

The move left Fatah's power base confined to the West Bank and since then the rivals have accused each other of persecuting their members.

Egypt has sought for months to mediate reconciliation talks with the aim of creating a unity government, but earlier this month it said was putting those efforts temporarily on hold.
