Baghdad : Eight people were killed in two car bomb attacks in the western Iraqi city of Ramadi, an official said Sunday.
“Our latest reports said eight people were killed and 50 others injured in the double car bombings outside the Anbar provincial council (building) in the city,” an interior ministry official told Xinhua requesting anonymity.
The Iraqi state-run television said two blasts occurred in the fortified provincial council building in central Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, some 110 km west of Baghdad.
A number of policemen were among the dead, the source said.
The government has meanwhile imposed a curfew in the city.
The province was once a stronghold of the Al Qaeda militants in the country.
