 Gunmen attacked the car of a top Sunni political leader Thursday, killing one bodyguard and wounding five. Adnan al-Dulaimi, a leader of the Sunni's largest parliamentary bloc, had already sped away in another car after his vehicle was stopped by a flat tire. Yassir al-Obeidi, spokesman for al-Dulaimi's Conference of the People of Iraq, said the Sunni political leader had been driven far away from his disabled vehicle before it was attacked. The attack on al-Dulaimi's motorcade occurred less than a day after it became known that he had joined with key Kurdish and secular politicians in a coalition seeking to deny Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari a second term.
