A roadside bomb nearly missed a car carrying Christopher Hill, the US ambassador to Iraq late Sunday night.  The ambassador was in a US State Department convoy in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriya. 


“There was a bang and then we went through a thick cloud of smoke… We are all fine,” Hill told the USA Today.  It was not clear whether the bomb was intended for Mr. Hill.
