NEW YORK — CIA arms inspector Charles A. Duelfer, who conducted the fruitless post- invasion search of Iraq for weapons of mass destruction, narrowly missed being killed by a suicide car bomber in Iraq, two television networks reported Tuesday.
CBS and NBC said two bodyguards died in Monday’s attack.
CBS said Duelfer was traveling in a four-vehicle convoy on the airport road in Baghdad when the bomber tried to ram his car. The bomber was cut off by security guards.
The Pentagon said it had no information on the report.
