Bomb Nearly Hits US Ambassador in Iraq
--------------------------------------



In Iraq, five Christian churches were bombed Sunday, killing at least
four people. Meanwhile, a roadside bomb hit a convoy carrying US
Ambassador Christopher Hill. The bomb barely missed Hill’s vehicle and
caused minor damage to another one. The bombing is believed to be the
first direct attack on a US ambassador since the war began in Iraq 2003.
