Failed attempt -- is this good or bad? I see both pros and cons. It is bad that violence is escalating but not surprising with the governmental announcement that was due today (see story here). Nonetheless, they failed proving yet again their lack of military skill and basic incompetence which leads to needless death (the insurgents overall goal I think) -- good, even better if he was guarded solely by Iraqi security.
BAGHDAD (AP) - Al-Qaeda in Iraq, the country's most feared terror group, claimed responsibility Thursday for a suicide car bombing that targeted interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's convoy but did not harm the Iraqi leader.
In a separate attack, a roadside bomb exploded on the highway leading to Baghdad's airport Thursday, heavily damaging three SUVs carrying civilians. Police Capt. Hamid Ali said two foreigners were killed and three wounded in the burning vehicles. But U.S. Embassy and military officials could not confirm the casualties.
