BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Bahrain's top envoy to Iraq was wounded Tuesday
in the second attack against an Arab diplomat here in a week. A major
Sunni Arab group called on Sunnis to take part in future elections,
action that could diminish the insurgency.
Elsewhere, gunmen ambushed a minibus taking seven Baghdad airport
employees to work Tuesday, killing four women and wounding three men, police
and hospital official said. A roadside bomb targeted a U.S. security
convoy Tuesday near the Iranian Embassy, causing no U.S. casualties but
injuring one Iraqi, officials said.
The Bahraini diplomat, Hassan Malallah al-Ansari, was shot on his way
to work in western Baghdad, said Dr. Muhanad Jawad of Yarmouk Hospital.
Al-Ansari was treated for a shoulder wound and was released, witnesses
said.
"There was an attempt to kidnap him by gunmen when he was on his way
from his house to the Bahrain mission in Baghdad," Bahrain Foreign
Ministry Undersecretary Yousef Mahmoud said in a report carried by the
official Bahrain News Agency.
The incident occurred three days after gunmen kidnapped Egypt's top
envoy to Iraq, Ihad al-Sherif, and both attacks appeared to signal an
insurgent campaign to discourage Arab countries from bolstering diplomatic
ties to the U.S.-backed Iraqi government.
"The aim is clear, just to create a state of fear," Iraqi government
spokesman Laith Kuba said. Al-Sherif's kidnapping "was an attempt to ...
scare the other diplomatic missions so that they won't expand their
presence in Iraq."

[ATC] FW: ABSOLUTELY MUST WATCH VIDEO ON EFFECTS OF
DEPORTATION OF JEWS
This is a video that needs to be watched by each and every politician and citizen of India
that is hell-bent on embracing the Pakis.
The bus rides to Lahore, the cricket matches with the enemy, the free heart transplants
for the Pakis (while 90% of Bharatians live in abject poverty), serenading the Butcher of
Kargil, opening broders to Paki jihadies etc are mistakes whose devastating effects will
be felt by many future generations.
Please watch this
