MOSCOW, September 1 (RIA Novosti) - A suicide bomb attack has killed 37 Iraqis in the city of Ramadi, in the western province of Al-Anbar, Reuters reports.
According to police and medical personnel, the suicide bomber crashed a Humvee military vehicle, loaded with explosives, into a construction site, used by security and military forces. A second terrorist, later reported, blew himself up near the site’s check point. In the result of the terrorist attack, 37 Iraqi citizens - 22 military and 15 civilians - have been killed.
The city of Ramadi has been a center for fighting between members of various rebel groups, including the radical Islamic State (ISIS), and Iraqi security forces since the beginning of the year. Iraqi authorities reinforced its struggle against rebels after ISIS had proclaimed its intention to establish an “Islamic caliphate” on the territories of Iraq, Syria and other Middle Eastern countries.
