Motorcade carrying first lady bombed
Baghdad ? Iraq’s first lady escaped unharmed Sunday from a bomb attack in downtown Baghdad that struck her motorcade, injuring four bodyguards.
President Jalal Talabani’s wife, Hiro Ibrahim Ahmed, was headed to the city’s central National Theater to attend a cultural festival when her motorcade was hit in the Karrada district, according to the president’s office. It was unclear whether she was the target or the attack was a random bombing.
