Washington, DC, Nov. 8 (UPI) -- An Iraqi police vehicle was used by a suicide bomber against U.S. forces in downtown Ramadi Monday, injuring 17, at least one of them seriously.
The bomber was dressed as an Iraqi policeman -- his identity is still unknown -- and was directing traffic in eastern Ramadi when a U.S. military convoy rolled by. The man jumped into his vehicle after four Humvees had already passed and when a large, seven-ton truck full of troops came by, according to a U.S. military official.
More than 100 Iraqi police cars and many Iraqi police uniforms have been stolen from police stations throughout Anbar province, where police are frequently targeted by insurgent attacks.
The 17 injured suffered burns, deep cuts and fractures. At least one is very badly injured and may not survive.
The attack is believed to be "spillover" connected to the U.S. attack that has begun in nearby Fallujah, the official told UPI.
