BAGHDAD, May 5 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed nine people and wounded 13 others when he detonated his explosive-packed vest next to a queue of police recruits west of Baghdad on Saturday, an army source said.

The blast occurred outside an Iraqi army base near the Abu Ghraib prison west of the capital in Anbar province. Another army source confirmed the suicide attack but had no precise casualty figures.
