Mourners chant slogans against the al-Qaida breakaway group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), while carrying a flag-draped coffin of Ammar Tueni, 24, a policeman killed in a car bomb attack during his funeral procession in Hillah, about 60 miles (95 kilometers) south of Baghdad, Iraq, Thursday, April 24, 2014. The Shiite-dominated city of Hillah has seen sporadic violence recently. Last month, a suicide car bomber hit another checkpoint in same area, killing 36 people. Iraq has seen a spike in violence since last year, with the death toll climbing to its highest levels since the worst of the country's sectarian bloodletting between 2006 and 2008. The U.N. says 8,868 people were killed in 2013, and more than 1,400 people were killed in the first two months of this year. (AP Photo/Karim Kadim)
