BAGHDAD (AFP) — Bahrain's top diplomat to Iraq was wounded in an apparent kidnap attempt three days after the abduction of Egypt's ambassador designate, as the Iraqi government chastised diplomats for traveling without protection.
A spokesman for the Iraqi government said Egypt's Ihab al-Sharif, who was appointed ambassador June 1 but was yet to present his credentials, may have contacted groups close to his captors, which compromised his security.
As US President George W. Bush hailed the sacrifices made in rebuilding Iraq, violence continued to rage, with four women gunned down on their way to work at Baghdad airport.
