| Gunmen kill election candidate in Iraq |
| 2013-06-16 |
| Iraqi officials say gunmen have killed a provincial election candidate in a drive-by-shooting in a restive northern city. Ghazi was running on a ticket close to the Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. A police official said the attack on Muhanad Ghazi occurred Friday as he was walking home in the city of Mosul. A hospital official confirmed the death. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to brief the media. Iraqi authorities earlier delayed the provincial council voting in two Sunni dominated provinces — Anbar and Ninevah — citing security concerns. The elections in these two provinces are due in June 20. The attack came just a day after a failed assassination attempt on Ninevah governor, Atheel al-Nujaifi. |

| #1 Mohammed wasn't Elected was he? No, I thought not. Moslems don't really "do" democratic elections. Turkey isn't too interested in Democracy. Syria either. Iran? There you get to "elect" old men in Turbans who just happen to be qualified as Ayatollahs. In Gaza and and places where "palestinians" gather you can elect the man with the gun to your head. And in Egypt you can elect a guy who shoots fast from the back of a Camel. In London you can read poster signs that if you dare to insult Islam they insist you sincerely DESERVE to have your head cut off. Any Moslem country where they actually do hold elections that actually ARE elections? if you have any questions ask Hussein. But he will claim he is the Messiah and you know your vote doesn't matter when it comes to a Messiah. Then they ignore your questions and target you as a troublemaking citizen who asks questions. You didn't build that...Mohammed did. |
