Politician wounded in IED blast in Mosul
2009-01-12
Aswat al-Iraq: A leading member of al-Hadbaa National List was wounded in a blast from an improvised explosive device (IED) attached to his vehicle in western Mosul city on Sunday, a police source in Ninewa said. "Faris al-Sinjari of the al-Hadbaa National List was wounded on Sunday evening when a sticky IED attached to his vehicle went off in Qassem al-Khayyat area, western Mosul," the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.

Al-Hadbaa is one of the lists vying for seats in the forthcoming provincial council elections in Mosul. The list is led by Atheel al-Nejeifi, the brother of Osama al-Nejeifi, a member of parliament from the Iraqi National List (INL).

#1  Targeted because of his current politics or his politics from 10 years ago? I often wonder how many of these individual hits are personal revenge attacks.
