BASRA, Iraq, Nov 7 (Reuters) - The police chief of
Iraq's southern city of Basra escaped assassination
for the second time in four days on Wednesday when
a roadside bomb exploded near his convoy, a police
source said.
Major-General Abdul-Jalil Khalaf was unhurt but four
of his guards were wounded, the police source told
Reuters on condition of anonymity. The attack took
place in Zubayr, a predominantly Sunni Arab town
south of Basra.
A convoy carrying Khalaf and the head of the Iraqi
army in the region, General Mohan al-Firaiji, was
attacked by a roadside bomb at the weekend. Both
men were unhurt but two guards were wounded.
