伊拉克官员说,伊拉克发生两起自杀式炸弹爆炸,其中一起发生在西部安巴尔省政府建筑物附近,造成至少13人死亡。

政府官员说,一名炸弹杀手星期四在安巴尔省拉马迪地方政府建筑物附近一个检查哨卡引爆汽车.官员说,死者当中包括4名警察,还有26人受伤,一家餐馆被炸损。

在第二次袭击中,一辆汽车炸弹星期四在北部城市摩苏尔一个警察局附近爆炸,炸伤至少22人。

最近几个月,在安巴尔,安全部队和政府官员遭受袭击的暴力事件有上升趋势,这个以逊尼派为主的地区曾经是反叛分子攻击美军领导部队的主要基地。

2006年后,安巴尔省的暴力大幅度下降。当时地方逊尼派部落开始支持美国军队驱赶激进分子。

Iraqi officials say two car bombs have exploded in the country, one of which killed at least 13 people outside a local government office in the western province of Anbar.

Officials say Thursday's Anbar attack involved a suicide bomber detonating a vehicle at a checkpoint near the provincial governor's compound in the city of Ramadi. They say four policemen were among those killed, while the blast also wounded 26 people and damaged a restaurant.

In the second attack, a car bomb went off near a police station in the northern city of Mosul Thursday, wounding at least 22 people.

Anbar has seen a rise in attacks on security forces and government officials in recent months. It is a predominantly Sunni region that once was a key base for insurgents fighting U.S.-led forces.

Violence in Anbar fell significantly after 2006, when local Sunni tribes began siding with the U.S. military to drive out militants.
