Sistani Aide Shot in Iraq

AP via Globe and Mail:

Gunmen killed a representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's most senior Shiite Muslim cleric, along with the aide's son and four bodyguards in a town south of Baghdad, an official in the cleric's office said Thursday...

Sheik Mahmoud Finjan, Mr. al-Sistani's representative in the town of Salman Pak, 20 kilometres southeast of Baghdad, was shot dead Wednesday night as he was returning home from a mosque where he performed the evening prayers, the official said on condition of anonymity. His son and four bodyguards were also killed, the official at Mr. al-Sistani's office in this Shiite holy city said.

Given the location of the assasination, my money is on the Islamic Army in Iraq.

1 How does it feel? Like a rolling stone. The Islamofacists need something to do. The easiest target will do. Any excuse will do. Anyone or religion or belief can and will be a target. Free room and board, comradeship, excitement. Parents will be proud of you. Your picture on the mantel. Religious leaders pat you on the back, claim you are a martyr. Your 15 minutes of fame and 72 virgins all rolled into one. Western educated muslims to show you how to make bombs. Neighboring countries supply you with weapons. Western charities supply you with money. No baseball, no football, no basketball, no alcohol, no dancing, no Disney World. Why lead a boring existence? Become a terrorist and see the world. If you lose in Afghanistan go to Iraq. If you lose in Iraq go to ??????? Learn human anatomy, behead innocent people. Kill westerners who you have been jealous of all your life. Kill rival religious leaders. Settle old scores. Fun, fun, fun. Terrorism is becoming a way of life for unemployable muslims. Beats working for a living.
