Ahmedinejad survives attack on convoy in Iran

TEHRAN: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad survived an attack on his convoy in which some people were injured, a source in his office said on Wednesday.

Al Arabiya television said an attacker had thrown a bomb at Ahmadinejad's convoy before being detained. Both television reports said some people had been wounded in the attack. Dubai-based Al Arabiya cited its own sources as saying the bomb had hit a car carrying journalists and presidential staff.

Ahmadinejad appeared on live Iranian television at a sports stadium in the western city of Hamadan. He was apparently well and made no mention of any attack.
