Conflicting reports over blast in Iraqi city
Iraq's government and police said a bomb blast near a soccer field in the city of Ramadi on Tuesday killed 18 people, mostly children, but the U.S. military said it was unaware of such an attack.

The U.S. military said its soldiers had carried out a controlled explosion in the volatile western city, also near a soccer field, that wounded 30 people, including nine children.

"I can't imagine there would be another attack involving children without our people knowing," said Major Jeff Pool, a spokesman for U.S. forces in western Anbar province. The wounded had cuts and bruises, he said.

A car bomb exploded near a park popular with young soccer players, killing at least 18 boys in a city west of Baghdad known as a center of the Sunni insurgency, police and Iraqi state television said Tuesday.

But the reports were complicated by a separate announcement by the U.S. military that 30 civilians and one Iraqi soldier were injured in a "controlled detonation" of explosives southeast of the same city, Ramadi. No deaths occurred, the military said.

It was not immediately clear if there were two separate blasts or whether there were disputes over the casualty toll from the same explosion.

However, the BBC reports that the chief American military spokesman in Iraq, Lt Colonel Christopher Garver, later said he thought there had been "two separate incidents" in Ramadi.
