BAGHDAD, July 7 (Reuters) - A suicide car bomber killed 22 people and wounded 17 others in an attack on a group of Shi'ite Kurds in a village near Iraq's border with Iran on Friday, a local official said on Saturday.

Ibrahim al-Bajilam, head of the local council in Garghoush village, said the victims were returning from a funeral in the area. The village is located in volatile Diyala province, where thousands of U.S. and Iraqi soldiers are on the offensive against Sunni Islamist al Qaeda.
