Senior Iraqi Aide Killed in Baghdad

BAGHDAD, June 12 -- Gunmen killed Iraq's most senior career diplomat as he was being driven to work Saturday morning. It was the first assassination of a top Iraqi official since the new interim government took office 12 days ago.

Bassam Salih Kubba had just left his home in the Adhamiya suburb north of Baghdad when gunmen in a black sedan fired at his car, striking Kubba fatally and injuring his driver, relatives said. Kubba died as his driver sped to the hospital in the unarmored white Mercedes, its back windows shattered by bullets.
