Anti-terror chief among seven killed in Iraq blasts
Co-ordinated bombings early today shattered the homes of four police officers in the western Iraqi town of Heet, killing seven people including the town's anti-terror chief, an official said.
Attackers planted explosives around the bedrooms of the policemen in the town, 35km west of the Anbar provincial capital of Ramadi, said Lieutenant Colonel Fadhil Nimrawi, the head of the town's emergency response unit.
"At 3:00 am, men planted bombs around the bedrooms of four houses belonging to members of the police force, including Major Walid al-Heeti, the head of Heet's anti-terror department," he said.
"The bombs killed seven people, including the anti-terror chief, and wounded six others, including women and children from the four families."
