Shooting broke out at a meeting Wednesday of a private association of Iraqi industrial firms in Baghdad amid a row between old guard and newly-appointed members, leaving two wounded. A personal guard for a member of the group's old leadership committee, a former intelligence officer under Saddam Hussein, raised his Kalashnikov rifle and opened fire when his boss got into a heated row with newly-elected committee members, witnesses said. Two people were struck by bullets before more than a dozen Iraqi police and US soldiers rushed in and arrested three people, they added.
"I respectfully disagree with my learned colleague's statements. Mahmoud, shoot him."
"Hokay, boss." |
