Kirkuk politician survives attack
The deputy governor of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk in northern Iraq, Ismail Ahmad Rajab al-Hadidi, was wounded along with his driver after unknown gunmen tried to assassinate him. Four gunmen sprayed his car with bullets in the city centre at 7pm before fleeing, said al-Hadidi on Sunday from Kirkuk general hospital.
Were they riding motorcycles?
He said he was wounded in the leg and that his driver suffered several "serious wounds”. Al-Hadidi, a 48 year-old trader, became deputy governor of the city after US-organised elections for a local city council last May.
