| Iraqi killed in Karbala for urging election boycott |
| 2004-11-07 |
| One man was stabbed to death and another wounded in the holy Iraqi city of Kerbala on Sunday when they tried to urge residents to boycott national elections scheduled for January, witnesses said. As the pair started to raise an anti-election banner at a market in the centre of Iraq's second holiest Shi'ite Muslim city, two men came up and stabbed them, local shopkeeper Ali Hussein, 42, told Reuters. |

| #4 I wonder if they were al Sadr's crew, Sunnis or Ba'athist holdovers? No matter, Sistani is on a roll with the decision to allow expats to vote and with the assault on Fallujah and I suspect he's not about to let some punks disrupt the chance for Shia to gain real political power in the elections. |

| #2 Actually, someone who argues that there should NOT be a republic and that there should be NO representation is a friend of tyranny -- someone who does deserve death in such circumstances. |

| #1 I understand that emotions are running high because of Sadr's atrocities, but this is a pity. This is what suppression of debate is all about. It's a pity the Democrats can't tell the diff. |
