| [AlAhram] A judge rubbed out with 15 bullets from a Kalashnikov. A policeman shot full of holes. Local figures from rival political groups and influential armed factions killed. The murders all happened in January and February in one Iraqi province, Maysan, which borders Iran  ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites....and where drug trafficking, tribal disputes and political score-settling have combined in a toxic mix reflecting the country's broader political divisions and struggle against corruption. |
