A suicide bomber has blown himself up inside the house of a local official in the city of Fallujah in Iraq’s western province of Anbar, according to a police official on Sunday.
The captain of Anbar police Ahmed al-Dulaimi told Anadolu Agency:
A suicide bomber wearing an explosive belt managed on Sunday morning to break into the house of the governor of the district of Amriya Al-Samoud, Faisal al-Issawi and detonated himself close to him
Al-Issawi was injured in the attack and taken to hospital, he said, giving no details on his health condition.
While no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, the authorities typically blame such attacks on Daesh, which in mid-2014 captured large areas of northern and western Iraq.
