A roadside bomb hit a convoy of cars used by Iraq?s interior minister in Baghdad yesterday, killing at least one person, but minister Bayan Jabor was not present, ministry sources said.

Other ministry sources said that two were killed and one wounded. The cars had just left the interior ministry compound to go to a nearby petrol station to fill up their tanks when the bomb exploded, the sources said.

Jabor, a Shi?ite and a member of the powerful Shi?ite Alliance, is a hate figure for Sunnis. His ministry has been accused by Sunnis and other groups of condoning death squads operating inside the ministry targeting Sunni areas. Jabor denies it.

Jabor?s sister was abducted for a few weeks in January.
