Respected Allawi associate nearly assasinated |
2005-12-18 |
Prominent Iraqi politician and Islamic thinker Iyad Jamal Eldin survived a failed assasination attempt in Nasiriyah. An armed grouped attacked his convey injuring a number of his guards. Iyad Jamal Eldin is a member of Iyad Allawi's coalition. He is also a harsh critic of the current Shia parties and of Iran. Iyad belongs to the Shia school of thought that believes in seperation between religion and politics. Words cannot describe how great this man is and how intelligent his thoughts are. I am so glad he survived and I pray he stays away from harm. People like Iyad Jamal Eldin give me hope. If I were an athiest, people like him would make me think twice.

#2 That is, I wonder who would be better at assassination, Iran or the US? |

#1 I really hope that Iran won't try to follow in Syria's footsteps by murdering politicians in other countries they don't like. Come to think of it, that might be just the thing to get the western powers off their buns and start liquidating Iranian leaders back. |
