Iraqi Shi'ite cleric assassinated in Basra
BASRA, Iraq (Reuters) - Gunmen have assassinated a Shi'ite cleric in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, police and relatives said on Friday.
They said Ali Abdul-Hussein, the imam of a Shi'ite mosque in Basra, was shot outside his house on Thursday night by two gunmen who then escaped in a car.
Dozens of Shi'ite and Sunni clerics have been assassinated in recent months, and some religious groups say the killings are an attempt to provoke sectarian civil war in Iraq.
No! Ya think?
