Kurdish communist party member killed in Kirkuk
2009-01-04
Aswat al-Iraq: Police on Saturday found a member of the Kurdistan Communist Party killed inside his house in northern Kirkuk, the province's police chief said.
Kurdistan has a RAB?
"The police found Mohieddin Rassoul killed inside his home in Sirkareez neighborhood, al-Shurja area, northern Kirkuk," Col. Bistoun Mohammed Qassabi told Aswat al-Iraq, adding the body showed signs of having been shot and bruised in the head.

"The incident, the second of its kind since last December, is currently being investigated," Qassabi said, not giving more details.

On December 18, 2008, a woman member of the Kurdistan Communist Party's Women's League was found dead inside her home in al-Qadissiya neighborhood, southern Kirkuk, according to Brig. Sarhad Qader, the chief of the Kirkuk Districts' Police Department.

#3  Longhorns would have a hard time surviving in northern Iraq, HMT. Better than most other cattle, but it would still be a hard go for them. IIRC, the Kurds also allow open carry of weapons - in fact, you're considered a wimp if you don't have at least an AK-47.
