                  20 Killed in Attack on Iraq Election Meeting

   by VOA News

   Iraqi officials say an attack on an election campaign meeting in the
   city of Baquba has killed at least 20 people.
   Police say a militant threw a hand grenade into the meeting Saturday,
   before a suicide bomber blew himself up. More than 50 people were
   wounded.
   The meeting was for supporters of a candidate preparing to run in
   provincial elections later this month.
   There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
   Saturday's attack in Diyala province is the latest incident in a spike
   of unrest leading up to the April 20 elections. Elections in the
   provinces of Anbar and Ninevah have been postponed by several months
   because of security threats.
