RAMADI - At least eight people — including four policemen — were killed and 50 injured Monday in two suicide attacks near a government compound in the city of Ramadi.

The first blast came from a suicide bomber in a car near the Ramadi government compound, around 110 km west of Baghdad, Aswat al-Iraq news agency reported.
