Meet the new boss…
Friday, July 16th, 2004…he’s just like the old boss. From the Sydney Morning Herald:
Iyad Allawi, the new Prime Minister of Iraq, pulled a pistol and executed as many as six suspected insurgents at a Baghdad police station, just days before Washington handed control of the country to his interim government, according to two people who allege they witnessed the killings.
… But the informants told the Herald that Dr Allawi shot each young man in the head as about a dozen Iraqi policemen and four Americans from the Prime Minister’s personal security team watched in stunned silence.
The Herald published this story about an hour ago. It will be interesting to see if other major news outlets pick it up.
