Grenade attack kills four young children

INSURGENTS fired rocket-propelled grenades at the home of an Iraqi police officer yesterday, killing his four children and his brother and wounding his wife.

Bombings and shootings around the country killed at least eight other people.

As Iraq’s dominant Shi’ite leaders prepared for talks with Kurdish and Sunni politicians to form a national unity government, Sunni Arabs warned they would reject the inclusion of any minister who had been involved in violence against Sunnis by Shi’ite-backed security forces.
