Iraq governing council member Akila al-Hashemi was shot

Hospital officials said three of her bodyguards were wounded, one critically. Akila al-Hashimi is in serious condition.

Eye witnesses at the scene said Hashemi's car had its tyres shot out and crashed through a nearby garage in an effort to evade the gunmen.

She is one of three Governing Council members in a delegation to the UN Security Council in July.
