Roadside bomb narrowly misses Iraqi interior minister's convoy
 A roadside bomb exploded in Baghdad on Wednesday just after the interior minister had passed by in a convoy, police said. The minister was unhurt, but two civilians were killed and several traffic policemen were wounded. The blast in the predominantly Sunni neighbourhood of Dora occurred just after Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolanis convoy of about 10 cars had passed, said Dora police officer Mohammad al Baghdadi. The intended target was not immediately clear, but Interior Ministry spokesman Col Sadoun Abu al-Aula insisted it was not the ministers convoy. He said the bomb was likely aimed at a US convoy travelling about 500 meters behind. Posted by: Fred 2006-08-24 |
