BAGHDAD: Twin suicide bombings rocked a government compound in Iraq's western city of Ramadi Monday, killing 17 people, a deputy interior minister said. It was the second attack on the compound this month and the third bombing there in the past year. “The death toll is 17 killed and between 50 and 60 wounded,” Lt. Gen. Hussein Kamal, Deputy Interior Minister, said. A police source said many of those wounded were policemen. Anbar Governor Qassim Mohammed said the first blast happened when a minibus exploded outside the compound and the second was caused by a suicide bomber on foot, disguised as a policeman. “Prime Minister (Nuri Al-Maliki) has ordered an investigative committee to be formed due to the repeated targeting of (this) building in Anbar province,” Kamal said. At the site of Monday's blasts, pools of blood dotted the ground, footage from Reuters Television showed. The stumps of the suicide bomber's severed legs lay at the scene. Debris from wrecked cars littered the site.
