Roadside bomb kills Iraqi governor (Shiia on Shiia?)
2007-08-11
THE governor and police chief of Iraq's southern Diwaniya province have been killed in a roadside bombing, police said.

Police said the two men had been returning to Diwaniya, the provincial capital, from a funeral for a leading tribal sheikh 30km east of the city when the bomb hit their convoy of four-wheel drives.

Three of their bodyguards were also killed.

Governor Khalil Jalil Hamza was a member of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council (SIIC), the biggest Shiite party in Iraq, whose armed wing, the Badr Organisation, has been in conflict with the Mehdi Army militia of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

Police named the police chief as Major-General Khaled Hassan.
