Blast in Iraq kills 7 US-trained cops

AFP, Baghdad
Seven Iraqi police recruits were killed and as many as 45 others wounded in an explosion after training yesterday in the town of Ramadi, Iraqi police and a US military spokesman said.
Ramadi police chief Jadam al-Awani said the recruits were finishing their third day of training when the blast struck. He put the number of dead at seven, adding that as many as 45 people were wounded by the blast.
"The Americans had left half an hour before the explosion," he added.
The US military spokesman said initial reports indicated that "up to seven Iraqi police recruits were killed and possibly up to 40 Iraqis wounded.
"We don't specifically know (what caused the blast) but it was some type of explosion," he said, asking not to be identified. The officer said there were no reports of
any US casualties.
One of the wounded recruits, Imad Adel, 18, said there had been as many as 80 recruits at the training centre at the time of the blast.
He said he believed the explosion to have been caused by a bomb placed in a white bag that he had seen leaning against a lamp post outside the base.
"Our supervisor investigated the bag. A few minutes later a car sped away and then there was an explosion," he said.
According to a doctor at the scene, Maan Yunis, the majority of those injured were suffering shrapnel wounds to the legs.
An AFP correspondent saw several discarded shoes lying on the ground, covered in blood.
One resident, Kamal Abdul Razzak, a civil servant, said police recruits had received threats not to cooperate with the US authorities in
