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.

Accidental or not, that thread title is :notworthy:

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.

In the recent topics column, the thread title reads "Iraqi General killed by Herk Driver."

Only posting this reply because now under latest post info it will say "Iraqi General killed by Clearedhot".

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.
