BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Police are investigating witness accounts that the suicide bomber who struck the Iraqi town of Abu Ghraib on Wednesday was a teenage boy, a local police official told CNN.

The U.S. military said it doesn't know the bomber's age, but he was old enough to carry out the "horrible attack."

The source -- a Falluja police official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he isn't authorized to speak to the media -- said Thursday that witnesses say the attacker was about 13 or 14 years old, "wearing jeans, modern clothing and had a youngster's hair style."

A roadside bomb struck the security detail of Baghdad's governor Thursday, killing one person and wounding six others, an Interior Ministry official said. Gov. Hussain Tahhan was not traveling with the convoy in central Baghdad when the bombing occurred. The one person killed and four others wounded were members of the security detail. Two civilian bystanders were injured.
Another bombing killed an Iraqi soldier and wounded four others when a roadside bomb struck an Army patrol in western Baghdad on Thursday.
