Iraq: Suicide bomber kills 14 at camp for displaced Iraqis

In Iraq, a suicide bomber attacked a camp for displaced Iraqis in Anbar province today, killing 14 people, a police major and a doctor said. The blast at the camp, west of Anbar capital Ramadi, also wounded 13 people.<br/><br/>The doctor and the major both said that most of the victims were women and children, but the officer also told AFP that two security personnel including a captain were among the dead.<br/><br/>There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but the Islamic State jihadist group frequently carries out suicide bombings targeting civilians in Iraq.<br/><br/>Iraqi forces retook the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah from IS, but the jihadists still hold areas in western Anbar, and the province still faces major security challenges.'<br/>''''''<br/>
