| NINEWA / Aswat al-Iraq: A military force killed on Monday the killer of al-Iraqiya List candidate Bashar al-Akidi in central Mosul, a source from the Ninewa Operations Command said. “An army force killed on Monday afternoon (May 31) the killer of al-Iraqiya List candidate Bashar al-Akidi in Bab al-Toub region in central Mosul,' the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. “The forces managed to get him after receiving information on his presence inside a restaurant in the region." “The force found a fake ID with him with the name Mohammad Hamed, but his real name is Zyad Mahmoud,' he added, without giving further details. Bashar Hamed al-Akidi and his driver were wounded last Monday (May 24) when unknown gunmen opened fire on them in front of his house in al-Aamel neighborhood in western Mosul. They died later of wounds in the hospital. |
