BAGHDAD, Iraq - A car bomb exploded outside the home of a tribal leader in a city west of the capital on Wednesday, killing one child in yet another attack aimed at a U.S. ally.

The explosion in Ramadi targeted the house of Sheik Amer Ali Suleiman, according to his cousin, Yasser Ali. Suleiman was not injured but at least one child was killed, he said.

Suleiman is a leader of the Duleim tribe, one of the largest Sunni Muslim tribes in Iraq. He is a member of the city council and is close to the Americans.

A U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad confirmed there was a car bombing, but had no further details. The press office of the 82nd Airborne Division, which is based in Ramadi, was not answering its telephone.
