Iraqi oil minister escapes assassination
2003-10-14
Iraqi Oil Minister Ibrahim Bahr Al-Uloom and an aide to Governing Council member Ahmad Chalabi escaped an assassination attempt in Baghdad hours after a deadly bombing in the capital, a council source said. “Bahr Al-Uloom and Nabil Al-Musawi, Chalabi’s deputy on the Governing Council, were attacked in the Al-Mansur district at around 7:30 p.m. Sunday,” the source said. “The two men were traveling in the same car in a five-vehicle convoy when the motorcade came under fire from a speeding car,” he said.
