BAGHDAD, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Two suicide bombers struck in a Sunni Arab neighbourhood of Baghdad on Monday, killing the leader of the area's security volunteers and at least two other people, an Interior Ministry source said.

The source said two people had been killed and four wounded by a suicide car bomb. One person had been killed and three wounded by another suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest.

Among the dead was the head of neighbourhood security volunteers in the Adhamiya neighbourhood.

A spokesman for the Sunni Endowment, a religious organisation, said the suicide bomber wearing an explosive vest had struck near the entrance to its building in Adhamiya and the car bomb exploded nearby.

He said 11 people had died in the blasts including the head of the volunteer programme, but this death toll could not immediately be confirmed.
