Basra governor survives assassination attempt

2006-10-01

(KUNA) -- Governor of Basra Mohammad Musbeh Al-Waeli survived on Saturday an assassination attempt which resulted in the injury of three bodyguards.

Al-Waeli said in a press conference "I was attacked in the center of Basra city while returning from Karbala province." The governor accused a group of Basra's interior officers of the assassination attempt on his life. "I accuse Basra's criminal department of conducting the attempt and call Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki to begin an immediate investigation," he charged.

#4 A Weber Grill of course, the big Kettle Fella, only way to get the good heat.

#3 Ever get the feeling that things won't sort themselves out until we kill every single male over the age of fifteen ten and hope they all make a fresh start?

Hell yes, with lard covered bullets during a rib BBQ.

#1 The Shia south is a disaster. Corrupt and Shia militia / Iranian controlled. I dunno if the "Gov" (no doubt a Shia) is one of them or not, but this is as likely to be a turf battle as anything else.
