Suicide car bomber targets Iraqi PM's party offices
A suicide bomber detonated his car near a checkpoint outside the offices of Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari’s Islamic Dawa Party today, killing one guard and injuring at least one more.
The prime minister was not at the building in Baghdad’s Mansour neighbourhood at the time of the attack, said party official Ayad al-Nedawi. He said the suicide bomber detonated the car near a checkpoint about 80 feet away from the party’s offices, which used to be al-Jaafari’s house.
