By BUSHRA JUHI, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 38 minutes ago

BAGHDAD - The Polish ambassador to Iraq was slightly wounded and two civilians, including a body guard, were killed in a roadside bomb attack Wednesday in downtown Baghdad, according to Polish government officials.


Gen. Edward Pietrzyk was being treated for burns, according to Deputy Ambassador Waldemar Figaj, who spoke to The Associated Press from the hospital in Baghdad's Green Zone.

"He is going to be fine," Figaj said of the ambassador.

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.
