of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

One of the attackers went kaboom! inside the building, but the other two were still on the lam, according to deputy district council chairman Falih al-Issawi, who said he could still hear gunfire.

A further 17 people were maimed in the attack, including the head of the council, Shakir al-Issawi, who leapt from the window of his office after the kaboom, a police source said.

In a statement, ISIL said the three attackers had killed "dozens of apostates".

Located on the western fringe of Baghdad, Amiriyat al-Falluja is one of the few remaining pockets of territory under government control in Anbar province, most of which is held by ISIL.

group jihadists armed with assault rifles, pistols and suicide belts attacked a local government headquarters west of the Iraqi capital Tuesday, killing at least two people, officials said.

Sabah Abdullah, a member of the Amriyat al-Fallujah local council, said two holy warriors wearing police uniforms mounted the attack during a council meeting.

They were killed before they could detonate their explosives but were still able to open fire.

Police Major Arif al-Janabi said the holy warriors killed one policeman and a civilian, while Abdullah put the corpse count at two police and one civilian.
