BAGHDAD — Two suicide bombings followed by clashes in Iraq’s Anbar province west of Baghdad killed 23 security personnel on Tuesday, officers and a doctor said. The suicide bombers attacked a mosque in the Al-Jubba area of Anbar where anti-militant fighters were resting, killing 10, after which clashes broke out that left a further 13 security personnel dead and 21 wounded. Al-Jubba is located near the Al-Asad Air Base — where American military personnel are deployed — and the town of Baghdadi, an area that has seen heavy fighting between security forces and the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS) group. — AFP
