                  Militants Take Hostages at Iraqi University

   Police in Iraq say gunmen have stormed a university west of Baghdad and
   are holding dozens of students hostage.
   Authorities say the attack took place Saturday at Anbar University in
   Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province.
   Police say the gunmen killed university guards who tried to stop the
   attackers at a gate, then stormed into the facility.
   Security forces have sealed off the area.
   There has been no claim of responsibility, although the militant group
   known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has carried out
   numerous attacks in the past several months.
   Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.
