Shi'ite Leader Killed as Shi'ites say they won't participate in Garner's Iraq

Shi'ites have rejected a US-led regime in Iraq, requesting that the US leave as quickly as possible. Following that news, one of their senior leaders was mysteriously killed in a Mosque Thursday.

KUWAIT (Reuters) - Men burst into Iraq's holiest Shi'ite shrine on Thursday and stabbed and shot dead senior cleric Abdul Majid al-Khoei and an aide, apparently as part of power struggle in the city of Najaf, now under U.S. control.


"This mob armed to the hilt with knives and guns entered the mosque. They were targeting us for sure," said Ma'ad Fayad, an Iraqi journalist with the Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat.


"They grabbed hold of the Imam and stabbed him. Then they shot him. The sanctuary became a battlefield," he told Reuters. The killings took place in the revered Shi-ite gold-domed Ali Mosque in the central Iraqi city of Najaf.


Officials at the London-based Khoei Foundation said Khoei, the son of the late leader of Iraq's Shi'ite Muslim majority, and his aide Haider Kelidar had been assassinated.


The killings are expected to fuel tension among Iraq's majority Shi'ite Muslims, long oppressed by ousted president Saddam Hussein himself a Sunni Muslim.


"Right now what we need in Iraq is stability, calm and peace and whoever did this damaged these things," said Mohsen Hakim, a senior official in the Tehran-based Iraqi Shi'ite group, the Supreme Council of Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI).

these are heartbreaking times for humanity at
large. we must call on those who would lead us
and demand them to draw that line in the sand, and
stand up and do the right thing for humanity at
large; otherwise life won't be worth the
living.

a majority of human beings
value the lives of others, why do we have such a
problem reflecting that part that is the best of
all of us?
