#1 The Islamic Republic News Agency has a slightly different spin on this story:
Suleimanieh, March 4, IRNA -- Forces loyal to Patriotic Union of Kurdistan shot dead a member of the political bureau of Iraqi Kurdistan Jamaat-e Islami Party Mullah Abdullah Qasri here on Tuesday. Altercation between Qasri and four of his companions with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) patrollers had reportedly led to the murder. The incident claimed the lives of all of Qasri's companions. No report is yet available on casualties among PUK forces.
Gee, do I detect the slightest amount of bias?
