Australia probes if teenager took part in IS suicide attack

Australia's government said on Thursday it was trying to confirm reports that an Australian teenager was among a group of suicide bombers from the Islamic State group that struck Iraq's Anbar province.

The IS group claimed in an online statement that it used foreign fighters from Australia, Belgium, Syria and Uzbekistan in Wednesday's attack.

At least 13 suicide car bombs exploded almost simultaneously in Ramadi, the provincial capital of Anbar, killing two soldiers and wounding eight.
