#1 OK, according to the CIA, the Minister of the Interior is one Jawad al-BULANI. The Prime Minister is the only al-Maliki in the cabinet.

Presumably this captain al-Maliki is some sort of assistant to the Minister of the Interior? I don't see any other hits for an Eidan al-Maliki or a Hassan al-Maliki except for the Prime Minister, who's listed as "Nouri Kamil Mohammad Hassan al-Maliki" whenever somebody's feeling verbose.

Of course, that doesn't mean anything, as the "Captain Jamal Hussein" incident should have illustrated to anyone paying attention. I'd guess that the deceased is some sort of distant kinsman to *the* al-Maliki with a nepotistic post in the Interior Ministry.
