Iraq's first lady escapes bomb attack
BAGHDAD (AFP) — The wife of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani escaped a bomb attack on Sunday in central Baghdad, but four of her bodyguards were wounded, security officials said.
The motorcade of Hero Ibrahim Ahmed was passing near the National Theatre in central Baghdad's Karrada district when it was hit by a bomb at around 10:00 am (0700 GMT), her head of security Adel Khawis told AFP.
A source close to Talabani's office said the last vehicle in the motorcade was hit by the blast, wounding the bodyguards.
