At least 12 people were killed and 18 wounded in a suicide bombing in the Iraqi city of Ramadi against the deputy governor of the province of Al Anbar, who was seriously injured, police said. The bomber blew up his explosives belt attached to the body in the House of Culture of Ramadi, capital of Al Anbar, where the deputy was involved in a religious celebration.
The sources explained that the Lieutenant Governor Yasem Zaidan Hekmat is in serious condition and was taken to a hospital in Baghdad. Those killed included a bodyguard of Iraqi official and three officials of the Culture House, located in the zone 17 Tamuz in the center of Ramadi, some 110 kilometers from the capital.
The explosion caused extensive damage in the building, the sources said, adding that security forces cordoned off the scene of the attack. Not the first attack suffered Hekmat Yasem Zidan. In June 2010, escaped an attack by a woman against the headquarters of the governorate of Al Anbar province, which killed six people and injured 35 others.
The terrorist was also carrying an explosive belt attached to the body and detonated inside the building near the office of lieutenant governor. The seat of the government was also targeted in December 2009 of a double bombing that killed 22 people and injuring another fifty. Al Anbar was one of the main strongholds of the terror network Al Qaeda after the U.S.
invasion of Iraq in 2003, and came to accept the base for the leader of the organization in this country, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who died on June 8 2006.
