Baghdad's governor, Ali al-Haidari, and six of his bodyguards were gunned down Tuesday, as their three-vehicle convoy was passing through Baghdad’s northern neighborhood of Hurriyah.
“They came from different directions and opened fire at us,” said the chief of his al-Haidari's security detail, who asked to be identified only as Maj. Mazen.
Also Tuesday, a suicide truck bomber killed 10 people at an Interior Ministry commando headquarters.
The militant group of Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Al-Qaida in Iraq, claimed responsibility for the governor's assassination, and for the truck bombing, according to statements posted on a Web site known for carrying such claims.
“We tell every traitor and supporter of the Jews and Christians that this is your fate,” the statement said. Its authenticity could not immediately be verified.
i say that the elections in iraq must not be delayed, but must go on as planned...
