Iraqi VP taken to hospital after blast: Source

Baghdad, Feb 26: Iraq's Shi'ite Vice President Adel Abdul-Mahdi was taken to hospital for ''routine checks'' after suffering minor wounds in a blast at a ministry today that killed six people, a senior political source said.

''We know he has been sent to hospital but it's a natural checkup,'' the source, from Iraq's governing Shi'ite Alliance, told Reuters.
