BAGHDAD - The son of Iraqi Governing Council member Salama al-Khufaji was killed when her convoy was attacked south of Baghdad, a council spokesman said on Friday.


Khufaji was not hurt in the attack but her son, Ahmed, was killed when the car he was travelling came under fire Thursday and crashed into a river, said Dr Mahmoud Othman.

“The son died in the shooting. Two or three of her bodyguards died as well,” he said. Two other people were hurt and were being treated at Baghdad’s Yarmuk hospital.

The convoy came under attack at Yusufiyah, 20 kilometres (13 miles) south of the Iraqi capital, as she returned from a trip to the Shiite holy city of Najaf.
