“Our latest report said that nine people including five policemen, were killed and 40 people, nine policemen among them, were wounded by the coordinated suicide bomb attacks in Anbar’s capital city of Ramadi,” the source from Anbar’s operations command told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

The attacks took place Monday morning when a suicide bomber drove his explosive-laden car into a checkpoint at the entrance of a government complex in central Ramadi, some 110 km west of Baghdad, the source said.
