US forces deliberately attacked convoy: Russian ambassador
The Russian ambassador to Iraq on Monday accused US forces of deliberately shooting at his convoy as it was fleeing Iraq for Syria.

The RIA Novosti news agency report, filed from the Iraqi-Syrian border, said ambassador Vladimir Titorenko was lightly injured, with his arm hurt in the attack.

"The Russian ambassador to Iraq Vladimir Titorenko thinks that the column of Russian cars, filled with diplomats and journalists, was deliberately attacked by the Americans," RIA Novosti reported.

Russian news reports had earlier said that the convoy was carrying Russian flags as it was leaving Baghdad.
