"Attack On Iraqi Governing Council Member Kills Two"

28 May 2004 -- A member of the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Governing Council has survived an assault on her convoy yesterday, but her son and at least one bodyguard were reported killed in the ambush.

Governing Council member Salamah al-Khafaji's convoy came under fire in the town of Yusufiyah during the drive to Baghdad from Al-Najaf, where she had been helping negotiate an end to clashes between Shi'a Muslim militiamen and U.S. forces. www.rferl.org
