Although previous reports indicated the death of the Iraqi official, Hospital spokesmen deny the report.

The curious thing about this bombing is that the bomb was not a roadside device, but rather the bomb was attached to the vehicle.

Are Iraqi's in charge of their own security? If so, they need a lot more vetting.
