Iraqi MP threatens to kill reporters
 (KUNA) -- An Iraqi MP threatened to eleminate several reporters, a statement by the press freedom watch center said Saturday. The statement added that MP Mohammed Al-Dayni, who belongs to the Iraqi Front for National Dialogue, threatened to assassinate several employees in Al-Iraqiyah channel.
| The Front for National Dialogue wants to discuss the matter with their corpses? Truly, this is a religion of peace! |
The center added that the threat of the MP came through a video tape during which he addressed his warning to the workers in the channel, telling them that the cement barriers placed outside the channel will not protect them. Several of the workers expressed to the center their concern towards this threat.

According to the statement of the watch center, the statement of the MP is considered a clear violation of the Iraqi constitution, especially article 48 that stipulates that the MP is obliged to protect public and private freedom. The center demanded the parliament to take legal action against the MP and lift his immunity.
