Gunmen attacked Iraqi deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlak's convoy in the Abu Ghraib area west of Baghdad on Friday, killing a guard and wounding at least five, officials said. The attack on one of the country's most senior Sunni Arab politicians comes less than three weeks before a contentious parliamentary election, the first since American troops left, which will be a major test for security forces. "Mr Mutlak is safe and was **t hurt," an assistant to the deputy premier, who was travelling in the convoy, told AFP. There is widespread anger among Iraq's Sunni Arab mi**rity, which complains of being marginalised and mistreated by the Shiite-led government and security forces.
