BAGHDAD, Iraq - A
suicide car bomb exploded Friday on a bridge
overlooking the home of President Jalal Talabani,
killing three of his guards, a spokesman for Iraq's
largest Shiite Muslim group said.
The attack occurred about 8 p.m. on Al-Hussein
Bridge over the Tigris River, according to Haitham
al-Husseini, spokesman for the Supreme Council for
the Islamic Revolution in Iraq.
He said several people were wounded, including some
civilians.
The Supreme Council has offices in the area, and
leaders of the organization also live in the
Jadriyah district. |
President : Jalal Talabani (Mam Jalal) |
It was unclear if
Talabani, a Kurd, was in the house at the time of
the explosion. Guards are posted on the bridge
because it overlooks the president's house and leads
to an area where several key government figures have
homes.
