By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
A senior Defense Ministry official was wounded in a roadside bomb attack that killed one of his bodyguards, an Iraqi military spokesman said on Monday.
The spokesman, Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi said that the blast occurred Monday in the Sulaikh neighborhood in northern Baghdad.
The wounded official, Maj. Gen. Mudhir al-Mola, was in charge of affairs related to the Sunni guards, known as Sons of Iraq, who have joined forces with US troops against al-Qaida in Iraq.
The move is considered a key factor in the overall decline in Iraq violence.
