Iraqi officials say a roadside bomb has killed the governor of the southern Shi'ite majority province of Muthanna. VOA's Brian Padden reports from the northern Iraqi city of Irbil.



Insurgents 1 killed the governor of Iraq's southern province of Muthanna, Mohammed Ali al-Hassani, in a roadside bomb attack in the provincial 2 capital Samawa. The governor was traveling in a convoy 3 and in an armored car for protection when the bomb exploded.


Ahmed Marzoq with the Muthanna Governing Council says the bombing was a politically-motivated.

On August 11, Khalil Jalil Hamza, governor of Diwaniyah province, and police chief, Maj. Gen. Khalid Hassan, were killed, along with their driver and a bodyguard 5 in a roadside bombing attack.

A vehicle curfew was imposed on Samawa shortly after Monday's bombing.
