Herk Driver Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) Gunmen using silenced pistols shot dead a senior Iraqi general in Baghdad on Thursday, an official said, the latest in a spate of assassinations of top military and civilian officials. The killing of Brigadier General Mohammed Alaa Jassim was the fourth of a senior Iraqi official in the past week, with at least three others having narrowly escaped death in that time. Jassim, the deputy commander of the Iraqi air force's Al-Muthanna base in central Baghdad, was in his car on a busy thoroughfare in the Ghazaliyah neighbourhood in the capital's west when he was killed, an interior ministry official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Not a good month or two for those that are trying to lead this place.

GovernmentMan Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Accidental or not, that thread title is Unrelated note: al Ahram ("The Pyramid", aka the Cairo Post) is a decent paper, but had a completely shitty website for most of the past decade. It's nice that they seem to be working to improve it these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hueypilot812 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I worked with (then Col) Brig Gen Mohammed. He was a good dude. Sucks those ass clowns manage to kill some of the people that are smart enough to actually lead their shit hole of a country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herk Driver Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 I agree. He was one of the good guys here. There are a few others, but losing him will have an impact. He gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
