Suicide bombing kills 14 in Iraq

Iraqi officials say a suicide attack south of Baghdad has killed at least 14 people.

A police officer says the suicide bomber blew himself up on Monday inside a restaurant in Dhi Qar province that is frequented by Shiite paramilitary militia fighters.

He adds that at least 27 others were wounded in the attack that targeted a famous restaurant on the main highway that links Baghdad with the southern provinces.

A medical official confirms the causality figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.

The attack comes hours after two separate suicide bombings outside Baghdad killed at least 10 troops.
