Baghdad, Dec 30 : At least 30 people were killed and 50 injured when two suicide bombers struck the western Iraqi city of Ramadi Wednesday, police said.

Qassim Mohammed, the governor of the overwhelmingly Sunni province, and Abbas al-Dulaimi, the deputy director of the Ramadi police, were among those injured when a man detonated explosives packed into his car outside the governor's office, police said.

Soon after, a second man detonated explosives strapped to his body outside the government building.

There were contradictory reports as to whether Mohammed and al-Dulaimi had been killed in the blast. Police told DPA that the two, and provincial council member Saadoun Abdel-Mohsen, were being treated for injuries.

It was the bloodiest attack in the province this year.(DPA)
