   Iraqi police say at least seven people are dead and more 15 wounded
   after insurgents stormed a provincial government compound in Iraq
   Tuesday.
   Witnesses said the attackers blew up two car bombs near the entrance of
   the compound in Baquba, the capital of Diyala province.
   The attack raises concerns about the strength of Iraqi security forces
   as U.S. troops prepare to withdraw in just a few months.
   Reports say shooting could be heard after the gunmen entered the
   compound.
   There are reports the gunmen took hostages, but details are unclear.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
