Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 02:34 AM by Cannikin
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Assailants killed an Iraqi deputy foreign minister Saturday in an ambush that occurred as he was traveling to his Baghdad office, the Foreign Ministry said.
Gunmen shot Bassam Salih Kubba in Baghdad's Azimiyah district, a Sunni Muslim neighborhood where support for Saddam Hussein's regime had been strong. He died later of his wounds, said Thamir al-Adhami, the Foreign Ministry spokesman.
Kubba, 60, was one of several deputy foreign ministers, and was responsible for legal issues. He was the ministry's most senior career diplomat.

Anyone connected to the new government is a target.
