BAGHDAD, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Two suicide bombers killed at least eight people and wounded 14 in an attack on a police headquarters just outside the western Iraqi city of Ramadi on Saturday, police said.

The bombers detonated their explosive vests simultaneously outside the station, police Captain Shakir Aswad, told Reuters. Four of the dead were policemen and the rest civilians, he said. (Reporting by Aws Qusay; Editing by Matthew Jones)
