NPR.org, November 30, 2008 · An NPR correspondent and three members of NPR's Iraqi staff narrowly escaped an apparent assassination attempt in Baghdad on Sunday after a hidden "sticky" bomb exploded underneath their parked, armored BMW.
The car exploded in a pillar of flame and was totally destroyed. No one was injured in the attack.
“I was supposed to die here, but it seems my life is longer than this. I will be back, habibi.”
NPR videographer Ali Hamdani
