One of the Iraqi youth and sports minister's guards was gunned down in Touz Khormato district, an official police source said on Saturday.

"At a late hour on Friday night, unknown gunmen opened fire on a bodyguard of the Minister of Youth and Sports, Jassem Mohammed Jaafar, in front of his house in Imam Ahmed neighborhood, Touz Khormato district (85 km southwest of Kirkuk), killing him on the spot," the source, who preferred to remain unnamed, told Aswat al-Iraq- Voices of Iraq- (VOI).
The body was taken to the morgue and an investigation is currently underway to reveal the motivations behind the killing, the source added.
