A roadside bombing targeted the convoy of a deputy minister in Iraq's government on Monday, killing a bodyguard and wounding at least seven people, police officials said. In a separate attack, an employee at Iraq's public works ministry was severely wounded after a bomb attached to his car exploded, police was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. The first explosion struck the convoy of Fouad Al-Moussawi, a deputy minister of sciences and technology, in an area of southeast Baghdad. Al-Moussawi was not harmed, but one of his security team was killed and four others were wounded, police officials said. Three civilians also were injured. Officials at Ibn Al-Nafess Hospital confirmed the police report. About two hours later, a bomb affixed to the car of the employee of the public works ministry went off in western Baghdad, leaving him with serious injuries, police and hospital officials said.
