Iraq compound siege leaves seven police dead

“The attackers controlled the roof of the building, and clashes started
between police and the attackers,” Jassim said at a news conference.

“After two hours, the police forces entered the building and all the
suicide bombers detonated themselves.”

Jassim said the compound houses a detention facility that was holding people
accused of involvement in the September 2011 killing of 22 Shiite pilgrims
in Anbar, and added that it appeared the attackers were aiming to free them.

The assault on the police compound left seven policemen dead and 16 wounded,
while the initial three car bombs in central Ramadi wounded three civilians,
according to a doctor at Ramadi General Hospital.
