| Suicide attack in Al-Ramadi kills 13 people |
| 2006-09-20 |
| (KUNA) -- A lone suicide attacker set off a vehicle rigged with explosives outside a center for police conscription in the provincial city of Al-Ramadi west of the capital on Monday killing 13 people and wounding 12 others, a security source said. The source said all the dead people were conscripts and natives of the city, and that condition of four of the wounded was serious. The explosion occurred shortly after a senior officer of the American Army said he was upbeat on future security in Al-Anbar, but cautioned that "victory may not be achieved in the coming two or three months." Elsewhere, witnesses said American Army troops burst into a number of houses in Al-Ramadi city and set up positions. The troops, since late on Sunday, have taken up positions in several districts of the city, they said, indicating that the freshly-occupied locations are scenes of recurring attacks by the armed insurgents. |
