A suicide bomber killed at least 14 people in Iraq Sunday at a camp for families internally displaced by fighting.

Thirteen people also were wounded in the attack on the camp (in the 60 Kilo area) west of Ramadi, capital of Anbar province.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

Iraqi forces retook the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah from Islamic State forces, but the jihadist group retains control of western parts of the province.
