The latest violence came hours after seven soldiers were shot dead at a checkpoint in a late-night attack by militants in the **rth, the latest in a surge in bloodshed that has killed more than 2,200 people already this year. A suicide bomber detonated a vehicle packed with explosives on a major bridge in Ramadi, a city west of Baghdad where security forces are still grappling to retain full control after militants took over several neighbourhoods two months ago. Ramadi originally had five bridges across the Euphrates River before a militant surge earlier this year.
