| 2011-05-28 |
| [Pak Daily Times] Iraqi security forces were on Friday hunting the killers of Iraq's controversial anti-Baath committee chief, who was shot in the head while on his way home in east Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... Thursday night. The brazen shooting came little more than a year after Ali al-Lami made headlines by banning a swathe of would-be MPs in Iraq's March 2010 election, a poll in which he himself was a candidate. Lami, the executive director of the Justice and Accountability Commission (JAC), was rubbed out while being driven home, a colleague and security officials said. His killers used pistols with silencers. "Yes, it's true," Entifadh Qanbar, a friend of Lami's who ran with him on the same political slate in a March 2010 parliamentary election, told AFP. "He was going from Paleostine Street to his house in east Storied Baghdad. His brother was driving. He was followed carefully by a car, then he was intercepted. |
