Suicide bomber kills 21 in west Baghdad

A suicide bomber detonated an
explosive vest at a dinner feast in western Baghdad's Abu Ghraib
district, killing at least 21 people, police said, according to Reuters.
Police colonel Dawood Suleiman in the nearby city of
Fallujah gave the initial death toll as 21.
A police source in Baghdad who declined to give his name
said 25 had died. Earlier the source had given a much lower
figure.
Abu Ghraib is a largely Sunni Arab district located between
central Baghdad and Fallujah on the main highway heading west
from the capital.
