Iraqi ambassador wounded
United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The Iraqi
®bassador to Lebanon, Abdel
hssem Muslem, was wounded
iy when gunmen raked bis car
machine gun fire as be drove*
to his embassy on Beirut’s sea
highway.
Beirut's state-owned radio said
slaslem. his driver and bis body-
were wounded in the ambush
yards from the embassy.
Muslem was shot in the back and
“Thank God his injuries are
not serious,” an embassy official
said. “But he is in the hospital.”
Beirut Radio said unidentified
gunmen fired a rocket-propelled
grenade at Muslem’s car as it ap
proached the Iraqi Embassy build
ing at 8:30 a.m. (2:30 a.m. EDT).
Then they riddled the car with
machinegun fire, the radio said.
Muslem, in his late 30s, had been
named to the ambassadorial position
earlier this year.
Police and security officials began
an immediate investigation into the
shooting which came less than 24
hours after a vehement verbal attack
against the Iraqi regime by a top
aide to Palestinian guerrilla leader
Yasser Arafat.
Abu Saleh, who is generally be
lieved to represent the left wing in
the Fatah guerrilla group, blamed
Iraq for the killing of a Palestinian
journalist in Beirut 40 days ago.
Saleh also criticized the Baghdad
regime for the execution earlier this
month of 21 top Iraqi government
and Baath Party officials.
"They (the Iraqis) murdered
many of their own comrades. We
condemn these killings because we
in the Palestinian revolution ap
preciate the value of human life. By
killing their own comrades, they are
actually killing the independence of
their country,” Abu Saleh told a
rally in Beirut Sunday.
He said after the killing of the
Palestinian journalist, Fatah secu
rity men arrested several persons
“who confessed they were sent by
an Iraqi Embassy official. We have
documents to prove this."
