Convoy bodyguards wounded in Iraqi suicide bombing

A suicide car bomb hit a convoy of government cars in Baghdad today, seriously wounding four bodyguards of a government minister.

The attack occurred as the convoy was heading to a government buildin to pick up Saad Naif Al-Hardan, Iraq’s minister for provincial affairs, and the suicide bomber probably thought Al-Hardan was in one of the vehicles, said police Capt. Qassim Hussein.
