Bombers strike government offices in Iraq's Ramadi (Reuters)

FALLUJA, Iraq (Reuters) ? Bombers hit municipal government offices in Ramadi in Iraq's mainly Sunni Muslim Anbar province on Tuesday, killing at least two people and wounding 15 others, a provincial official said.

Mohammed Fathi, a spokesman for the Anbar governor, said two of the attackers, wearing suicide vests, blew themselves up at the municipal government building as a car bomb blew up on the opposite side of the complex.

He said three of the wounded were police officers.

"The death toll could increase because some of the wounded are seriously wounded," he said.

The vast desert Anbar was the scene of some of the fiercest fighting of the Iraq war.

Violence has dropped sharply in Iraq since the peak of sectarian fighting in 2006-07 but bombings and other attacks still occur daily as the army and police battle Sunni insurgents and Shi'ite Muslim militias.
