| Amman denies attack on Jordanian Embassy in Baghdad |
| 2005-07-31 |
| A government source denied that the Jordanian Embassy in Baghdad came under attack earlier Saturday, indicating that Iraqi security forces opened fire at a suspicious car on the street where the embassy is located. Several diplomatic missions in Iraq came under attacks recently that killed an Egyptian and a couple of Algerian diplomats. The assaults also targeted the Bahraini charge D'affairs in Iraq who survived an assassination attempt. Earlier today, an Iraqi police official told a news conference that gunmen, using two civilian cars, attacked the Jordanian embassy with light weapons in Al-Mansour area, west of Baghdad. The official who requested anonymity indicated that the attack did not cause any property damages or human casualties. Many embassies are located in Al-Mansour area and witnessed the abduction of the Egyptian and Algerian charge D'affaires' who were murdered later. |
