Iraq militants 'killed by own bomb while filming video'

At least 21 insurgents have been killed in central Iraq after a car bomb was detonated by accident, reports say.

They were filming a propaganda video of the would-be suicide attacker when the blast occurred, the head of the local Sunni pro-government militia in Jilam told the AFP news agency.

Security sources confirmed there had been a blast around 08:00 (05:00 GMT).
