A military vehicle carrying US politicians overturned on the way to the Baghdad airport Saturday, injuring two congressmen, a fellow congressman traveling with them said. Rep. Tim Murphy, a Republican, was airlifted to a military hospital in Germany for an MRI on his neck, and Rep. Ike Skelton, a Democrat, was sent to a Baghdad hospital, said US Rep. Jim Marshall. Marshall, a Georgia Democrat, was in the vehicle but was not hurt. The politicians were riding in a box-like vehicle in a convoy. The convoy was taking up the middle of the road, a common practice used by the military to deter oncoming motorists. Shortly after dark, an oncoming truck refused to yield, Marshall said.More about:Iraq, Baghdad International Airport, Republican Party (United States), Democratic Party (United States)function initServerVars() { _headup.clientHost = 'http://newstopics.jpost.com'; _headup.termsFromServer = 'Iraq$$Baghdad airport$$Republican$$Democrat$$Germany$$Georgia'; _headup.annotatedTerms = ['dbpedia:Baghdad_International_Airport$$1', 'dbpedia:Republican_Party_%28United_States%29$$1'] _headup.widgetMode = 'snippet'; _headup.snippetButtonStyle = 'banner'; _headup.blackListedUrl = false; } <!-- Terms Count: 6 TTL: 60 Terms From Server: Baghdad airport, Republican, Democrat, Germany, Georgia, Iraq DateTime: 6/6/2011 1:11:36 AM -->
