The head of Saddam Hussein's tribe has been blown up in a car bomb in the town of Awja, near Tikrit, Iraqi police say.
They said explosives may have been attached to the underside of the car belonging to Sheikh Ali al-Nida, head of the al-Bu Nasir tribe.
Sheikh Ali's driver was also killed in the blast and at least one of his guards was seriously wounded. The car exploded as it was travelling back to Awja, Saddam's birthplace, after a trip to Tikrit.
