Car bomb hits council in Iraq town

RAMADI, Iraq (Reuters) - A car bomb has struck the offices of a U.S.-appointed local council in the Iraqi town of Ramadi, witnesses say.

There were conflicting reports of casualties but one hospital official said seven people were killed in the attack late on Wednesday.

A U.S. military spokeswoman confirmed there had been a car bomb attack in Ramadi, 100 km (60 km) west of Baghdad, but gave no further details.

Ramadi is part of the so-called "Sunni Triangle" west and north of Baghdad where resistance to the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq is strongest.
