I wonder if that's better or worse than the Baghdad mayor. Or if there even is a separate Baghdad mayor.

Here's a little more from Fox. They apparently are adding the story paragraph by paragraph:::

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Gunmen assassinated the governor of the Iraqi province that includes Baghdad, Ali al-Haidari (search), on Tuesday, police officials said.

Al-Haidari was shot dead while in his car in Baghdad's (search) northern neighborhood of Hurriyah, said the police officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He was a target of another assassination attempt last year.

The officials said al-Haidari left his house in the western al-Jama'a neighborhood and when he arrived in al-Hurriyah gunmen riddled his car with bullets. He died instantly, they said.
