Security incidents:
Baghdad:
#1: A bomb targeted the convoy of the Polish ambassador to Iraq in Baghdad on Wednesday, killing an Iraqi civilian and injuring the diplomat and at least three others, authorities said. Iraq's Interior Ministry said a parked car detonated in the downtown neighborhood of Karrada and struck a multi-vehicle Polish convoy -- sport utility vehicles that sported Polish flags on the side. The Polish deputy chief of mission in Baghdad said the ambassador was in a three-vehicle convoy traveling in Baghdad when an improvised bomb detonated. The ambassador, Gen. Edward Pietrzyk, is at the U.S. military hospital in Baghdad in stable condition. Several private security guards were wounded and rushed to hospitals. The vehicles were "burned down," the chief of mission said
A civilian passer-by died after at least two roadside bombs were detonated about 10 a.m., according to an Iraqi police official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information. A Polish security guard, believed to be Pietrzyk's driver, died at the hospital a short time later, said Robert Szaniawski, a spokesman for the Polish Foreign Ministry. At least 11 people, including three security guards with the convoy, were also wounded in the attack in the Karradah neighborhood, police said. The guards worked for Poland's Government Protection Office, which is responsible for the security of Polish officials in Iraq, the agency's spokesman Dariusz Aleksandrowicz told the AP.
