A Death Mark’s Not an Easy Thing to Live With

By Montag | Related entries in War

A militant Iraqi group has called for the death of Prime Minister Ibrahim Jaafari and other Iraq officials, and they have offered a bounty:

The statement could not be immediately verified. It put a $100,000 price on Jaafari, $50,000 for Interior Minister Bayan Jabor and $30,000 for Defense Minister Saadoun Dulaimi.

Why? “…to avenge the mass extermination occuring in Tal Afar[.]”

U.S. and Iraqi troops are hunting rebels and foreign fighters in Tal Afar, a city of 200,000 near the Syrian border.

On Sunday, the leader of Iraq’s al Qaeda, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, accused the U.S. army of using poison gas on the town to “finish off the mujahideen.”
