BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen assassinated a senior Iraqi interior ministry official in Baghdad on Monday, a ministry source said.
The source said Mussab al-Awadi was killed along with two of his bodyguards as he left his house in the capital.
Awadi was in charge of dealing with tribal affairs.
In May, Izzedin Salim, head of the now defunct Governing Council, was killed in a suicide bomb attack on his convoy.
Earlier this month a suicide bomber attacked a convoy carrying Iraq's justice minister, killing five bodyguards.
