Basra security chief killed in air raids
An Iraqi opposition group reported here on Wednesday that the security chief of Basra had been killed during US-British air raids on the city Monday. The public relations of the Supreme Assembly of the Islamic Revolution of Iraq (SAIRI) in a message faxed to IRNA quoted its sources in Iraq as saying that the official, identified as "Mahdi", and his deputy for political affairs had been killed in the raids on Basra's Security Office. The SAIRI added that an Iraqi security official has also confirmed the report. G'bye, Mahdi! G'bye, zampolit! Say hello to Himmler for us! Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-03-26 |
