BAGHDAD — A top leader of a Sunni Arab political party was killed in a suicide bombing Sunday night as he and other politicians were discussing the Jan. 31 provincial elections, Iraqi officials said.
Hassan Zaidan al-Lihebi, deputy leader of the Iraqi National Dialogue Front, was at home in al-Lihaib, a village south of Mosul, when an assailant shot two guards, walked into the house, approached Lihebi and detonated explosives wrapped around his body, police officials said.
The attack occurred amid bitter competition between Sunni Arabs and Kurds for control of Nineveh province.
