BAGHDAD. July 4. KAZINFORM A female suicide bomber blew herself up at the provincial council in Iraq's western province of Anbar on Sunday, killing at least two and wounded seven others, a provincial police source said, Kazinform refers to Xinhua.
"A female suicide bomber blew up an explosive-vest in the compound of the provincial council in central Ramadi city, killing at least two people and wounding seven others," the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The woman apparently managed to enter the council's building close to the office of deputy governor, the source said.
Insurgent attacks continue in the once volatile province of Anbar, which has been relatively calm for more than two years after Sunni tribes and anti-U.S. insurgent groups turned to cooperate with the U.S. troops and Iraqi security forces against al-Qaida network in Iraq, Kazinform cites Xinhua.
