Blasts Kill 17 in Iraq
BAGHDAD: A pair of explosions outside a government compound in western Iraq killed 17 people, police and hospital officials said.

At least 23 people were wounded in Sunday's blasts near the provincial council building in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province about 115 kilometers west of Baghdad.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to brief the media.
