Ten killed in twin bombing in western Iraq
2009-12-31
FALLUJAH, Iraq, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Ten people were killed, including the governor of Anbar province, in twin bombing attacks in Iraq's western city of Ramadi on Wednesday, an Interior Ministry source said.

A car bomb went off in the morning outside the provincial council in Ramadi, the capital city of Anbar province, the source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

Afterwards, Qassim Mahmmed Abid, governor of the province, and some senior officials of the provincial council left their offices to the entrance of the council to see the site of the car bombing. Suddenly, a suicide bomber blew his explosive vest among the group, killing the governor and Brigadier Abbas, a senior provincial officer, along with eight others, the source said.

More than 30 people were also wounded by the blasts, the source added.
