THE DOG HAS FRIENDS

'Dog is dead' sparked Najaf arrests (News Interactive, September 1, 2003)

TWO Saudis arrested after the Najaf attack in Iraq that killed leading Shiite cleric Mohammad Baqer al-Hakim were picked up after sending an e-mail saying "mission accomplished: the dog is dead", The Times reported today quoting a source close to the Iraqi inquiry.

The men were grabbed by a crowd and taken to the nearest police station after being seen sending the e-mail from an Internet cafe, the source said.

Isn't this precisely the kind of attentiveness and willingness to act that we need from the Shi'ites? Posted by Orrin Judd at August 31, 2003 11:26 PM
