Chalabi Survives Attack
Former Iraqi deputy prime minister Ahmed Chalabi escaped an assassination attempt when a suicide bomber in a vehicle rammed his convoy late Friday night in Baghdad's Mansour neighborhood, his spokesman said.
Chalabi, who had close ties to the Bush administration before the war, was unharmed, but two guards were killed and six injured, Ayad Kadhim Sabti said.
Also Saturday, a car bomb killed an Iraqi policeman and four civilians in Tall Afar, in northern Iraq, the U.S. military said.
