A suicide bomber blew himself up Sunday at an Iraqi army recruiting center in the capital, witnesses said.

Early casualty reports varied, with a hospital official saying at least 14 died and a Defense Ministry employee reporting up to 25 killed.

The blast occurred just before 9 a.m. at a western Baghdad recruiting center that had been hit several times before by suicide attackers.

Dr. Muhanad Jawad of the Yarmouk hospital said he received 14 dead and 41 wounded.

A Defense Ministry employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak with the media, reported 25 dead and 25 wounded.

He said he was citing figures from the ministry's operations room.
