BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — One person was killed and 16 people were wounded Saturday when two suicide bombers detonated explosives near the office of an awakening council in Diyala’s provincial capital of Baquba, police and a medical source in the city said. The attack happened shortly past noon when a female bomber struck outside the council office, the medical source said. The bomber appeared to be in her late teens, the source said. As police were making their way to the hospital — some of them transporting the wounded — a male bomber in a car detonated his explosives, police said. That attack happened about half a mile away from the council office, they said. Four awakening council members and two policemen are among the wounded, police said. |
