Sunni legislator, driver slain on Baghdad street

[ECH1969]

An Interior Ministry official said the two bodies were found by the Iraqi police just a few yards from offices of the Sunni Endowment, a government organization that administers Sunni mosques, in the northern Baghdad neighborhood of Slaikh, which has been troubled by sectarian violence. Both men had been shot in the head.

Members of parliament are permitted to hire up to 20 bodyguards, but Mohammad had none with him on Thursday, said Arif Tayfoor.

On Thursday, a roadside bomb detonated at 6 a.m. near Bab al-Sharji, a busy commercial district. About 20 construction workers gathered in the area were wounded. Later in the morning, a car bomb exploded in Huriya, a mixed neighborhood in northern Baghdad rife with sectarian violence, killing two people and injuring two others.

A car bomb exploded in the afternoon in the town of Abu Ghraib, west of Baghdad, near an Iraqi police and army convoy. The blast killed a woman and wounded seven other people, including a soldier.
