A politician from Ayad Allawi's Iraqi List was among six people killed when four bombs exploded near the politician's house in western Iraq early Sunday, police said. The attack came less than two days after Iraq's electoral commission declared Allawi's coalition the narrow winner in Iraq's March 7 parliamentary elections. Police told the German Press Agency 'DPA' that Ghanem al-Karbuli, a politician from the Al-Hal movement, part of former prime minister Allawi's coalition, died when four bombs exploded near his house in al-Qaim, near the Iraqi-Syrian border. Al-Karbuli's cousin and four others were also killed, and four others were injured in the blast, police said.
