~snip~ BAGHDAD —
A teenager holding a box of candy strode into a gathering of Sunni Arab tribal members near Falluja and detonated an explosive belt, killing four people and wounding nine, members of the Issawi tribe said Sunday. It was the second major bomb attack to strike American allies in Anbar Province in two days.
In Anbar, once the cradle of the insurgency, violence dropped last year after Sunni tribes joined the American-backed Awakening movement and rebelled against Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia and other militants.
But the attack on Sunday, as well as a three-stage suicide car bombing Saturday near Ramadi that killed at least five Iraqi policemen, show that cells of militants remain active and organized in the sprawling Sunni-dominated province.
