Insurgents killed at least six people and wounded 11 in a bomb attack on the home of a Shiite family in south of the Iraqi capital

Insurgents killed at least six people and wounded 11 in a bomb attack on the home of a Shiite family in south of the Iraqi capital on Sunday, part of nationwide violence that left a total of eight dead, security officials and a medic said on Sunday.
  
The blast on Saturday night also badly damaged a neighboring home in Iskandiriyah, which lies within a confessionally mixed area known as the Triangle of Death because of frequent attacks in the wake of the 2003 US-led invasion.
  
Mohammed al-Shammari, a doctor at the main hospital in the nearby city of Hilla, said six people were killed and 11 others wounded. Among the injured were women and children, he said. The wounded included four who were badly hurt.

A police lieutenant in Iskandiriyah, however, put the toll at six dead, including two children, and six wounded. The family whose house was bombed were members of the Shiite tribe Al-Massudi, he said.

Two separate attacks south of the disputed northern oil city of Kirkuk, meanwhile, left one anti-Qaeda militiaman dead and two people wounded, local police said. And in the restive central province of Diyala, an Iraqi soldier was gunned down in front of his home in the town of Khales, and two people were wounded by a roadside bomb in the provincial capital Baquba, an army officer said.
