A suicide bomber killed at least 11 people and wounded 21 on Thursday in Iraq's increasingly turbulent western Anbar province, a senior Iraqi army official and police said. A medical source said Ramadi's main hospital had received 13 bodies and 26 people had been wounded. Separately, in the violent city of Mosul in north Iraq a car bomb exploded near a police building, wounding 24 people.
A restaurant worker in Ramadi, capital of Anbar province, said that bodies littered the scene of the bombing, close to a group of provincial government buildings. Blood stained the ground, and gutted police and army vehicles smouldered nearby. "A suicide bomber attacked the checkpoint of the police and army close to our restaurant. Some of them were killed. I saw around five or six bodies, and helped carry them to cars going to hospital," worker Hamid Ali said.
