Suicide car bomber kills 11 in Al-Qaim in western Iraq

A suicide bomber blew up a vehicle in the town of Al-Qaim in western Iraq today, killing at least 11 people, five of them security personnel, police said.

The town, on the Syrian border some 340 kilometers (215 miles) from Baghdad, was one of the last in Iraq to be recaptured from the Islamic State group in November last year.
