Captain Dawoud Muhammed confirmed that Wael al-Rubaei, an advisor to Iraq's council of ministers, was shot dead by unknown gunmen when he was on his way to work.

Al-Rubaei's driver was also killed in the attack.

Insurgents have amounted attacks on senior government officials since the new government was announced in late April, killing more than 500 people.

On the same day, the Qatar-based al-Jazzera TV reported that a Kurdish official escaped a car bomb attack on his convoy in northern Iraq. Five other people were killed in the attack.
