Gunmen on Tuesday stormed an Iraqi provincial council building in Baquba city -- northeast of Baghdad -- after two bombs exploded outside, killing at least 8 people and wounding 27 more, police and health officials said, according to Reuters. Iraqi forces surrounded the council building where gunmen were still inside with some members of the provincial council, police and local politicians said. Police said at least eight people were killed in the attack in which a car bomb exploded and a suicide bomber detonated his explosives before gunmen assaulted the building.
