Xinhua reports:

Three children brothers were killed and their fourth brother was wounded on Sunday in a bomb explosion as they were heading to their school in a rural area in Iraq's volatile province of Diyala in northeast of Baghdad, a provincial police source said.

The father of the four children is a former leader of an Awakening Council group, a government-backed paramilitary group which fought the extremist Sunni militants of Qaida, he said.

The Sahwa (Awakening) movement, known as the "Sons of Iraq" by the US army, joined American and Iraqi forces in 2006 and 2007 to fight Al-Qaeda and its supporters, leading to a dramatic fall in violence across the country.
