Gunmen Kill Iraqi Ex-Judge
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Gunmen on Wednesday killed a former judge whose name once was on a list of Sunni Arabs joining a parliamentary committee to draft Iraq's new constitution, officials said...
Former judge Jassim al-Issawi, whose candidacy to join the 55-member committee was later dropped, was a law professor at Baghdad University and the former editor-in-chief of Al-Siyadah newspaper, said Salih al-Mutlak, secretary general of the Sunni National Dialogue Council
Al-Issawi, 51, and his son were killed in Baghdad's northwestern Shula neighborhood, said Abdul Sattar Jawad, current editor of Al-Siyadah.
At first glance, this is Sunni killing Sunni for being even almost working with other Iraqis - and of course foreigners. The roof is leaking, let's burn it down - from inside!
