Iraqi deputy PM al-Mutlaq convoy in clash with soldiers

BBC News - Iraqi deputy PM al-Mutlaq convoy in clash with soldiers:

"He was travelling with other officials into Anbar - Iraq's largest Sunni province - to inspect flood damage after militants shut off a dam in nearby Fallujah, a statement from Mr Mutlaq's office said.

BBC Arabic was initially told the convoy was ambushed by a large group of gunmen - carrying automatic weapons - who tried to prevent it from leaving the area.

But later comments from his office said the gunmen were in fact Iraqi soldiers, and a source described the encounter as a "scuffle"."
