Suicide attacks kill at least 10 in Iraq


    RAMADI, Iraq (Reuters) - Two suicide bombers killed at least 10 people and wounded at least 40 others, including the provincial governor, in a city in western Iraq on Wednesday morning, police said.

    Police said the attacks took place in quick succession in downtown Ramadi, 100 km (60 miles) west of Baghdad. Many of the wounded were from Iraqi security forces.

    Qassim Mohammed, the governor of Anbar province, home mainly to members of Iraq's Sunni Arab minority, was seriously wounded in the attacks, according to a source in the Ramadi hospital.
