33 killed in Baghdad suicide bombing

At least 33 people have died and 46 injured following a suicide bombing on the western edge of Baghdad.



Officials say a number of police, soldiers and journalists are among the dead.



The attack reportedly took place in the Abu Ghraib municipality, and appeared to target a group of dignitaries as they left a national reconciliation conference.



Violence levels have declined in Iraq recently, but this is the third major bombing in the last few days.



More than 30 died in an attack on a police recruitment centre on Sunday.
