Two Iraqi Army officers were severely wounded in a drive-by shooting Sunday as they drove to work through western Baghdad, AP quoted police sources as saying. Gunmen opened fire on the officers' car in the Yarmouk neighborhood around 9 a.m., another officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information. Brig. Mohammed Bassem Abdul-Ridha and Col. Firqad Salman Alwan _ who work at the Defense Ministry's General Inspector Office _ were both severely injured, he said. The Iraqi Defense Ministry had no immediate comment about the attack.
