Twin bombings killed nine people and wounded 21 today in Ramadi in Iraq's western province of Al-Anbar, most of them anti-al-Qaeda militiamen, a security official said.

A bomb placed in the car of an officer of the Sahwa (militia) exploded before a second one, placed on the roadside, detonated among a group of people, Colonel Jubeir Nayef said.
