Iraqi Humor

BAGHDAD, July 25 (Reuters) - Politics is a deadly business in Iraq, with public figures in constant fear of assassination or kidnap, but self-defense measures backfired on one member of parliament on Tuesday. Police reported a Sunni Arab lawmaker from northern Nineveh province had been wounded in an attack. But his party leader, Adnan al-Dulaimi, told Reuters: "Hashim Yahya al-Taee was not the victim of an assassination attempt. He was shot in the leg as he was cleaning his pistol."
