RAMADI, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Two suicide car bombers exploded on Friday outside two U.S. bases in central Ramadi, the capital of Iraq's volatile Anbar province, Iraqi police said.

Captain Ahmed Ali said he had no word on any injuries. Ali said one bomber, driving a truck, rammed the gates of a former government building that now houses U.S. troops. A second, driving a car, attacked a U.S. base in a former football club.

The U.S. military said it was checking the report. snip

One resident, who did not want to be named, said U.S. forces had sealed off al-Sufiya district in the west of the city after American reinforcements were hit by a roadside bomb. It was not immediately possible to confirm the report.
