Iraq's First Lady Unharmed In Motorcade Bombing

The President of Iraq, President Jalal Talabani's wife was in a motorcade today in Baghdad headed to a cultural event when the motorcade was bombed but she was unhurt. Here's the brief recap of it from the article at Yahoo News:

The motorcade bombing in Baghdad's Karrada district injured four of Hiro Ibrahim Ahmed's bodyguards but left her unharmed, according to the office of her husband, President Jalal Talabani.
She was headed to the city's central National Theater to attend a cultural festival when the attack occurred just before noon, said the presidential office. It was unclear if she was the target or if the bombing was random.

I've read this a few times and I don't even see if this was some sort of roadside planted bomb, or a suicide bomber attacking the motorcade or if the bomb was in another vehicle. My guess is that it was a roadside bomb that probably hit only a glancing blow.

Iraq's first lady unharmed after her motorcade is bombed

BAGHDAD - A bomb hit a motorcade carrying Iraq's first lady through Baghdad on Sunday, while the U.S. military said a roadside explosion killed four Marines in the deadliest attack in western Anbar province in months

The motorcade bombing in Baghdad's Karrada district injured four of Hiro Ibrahim Ahmed's bodyguards but left her unharmed, according to the office of her husband, President Jalal Talabani.

The four Marines were killed in Anbar province on Friday, but no other details of the incident were released.
Anbar was once a stronghold for insurgents battling against U.S. forces. But in the past year the vast desert province has largely been calmed with the rise of the Awakening Council movement — Sunni fighters who now turn their guns on al-Qaida instead of U.S. forces.
Friday's attack was the most lethal in the province since Sept. 6, when four Marines were killed in combat. The military did not release details of those deaths either.
