The leader of the Iraq Governing Council has been killed (Ezzedine Salim)
Edited on Mon May-17-04 03:01 AM by VolcanoJen
One can only imagine the ramifications of this latest development, especially considering the looming June 30th date. Other sources report that at least 8 have been killed in this latest car bombing.

BBC - Baghdad Blast Kills Iraq Leader

The head of Iraq's US-appointed Governing Council has been killed in a car bomb blast near the headquarters of the US-led coalition in Baghdad.

Ezzedine Salim was killed as he was waiting to enter the compound, Iraq's deputy foreign minister told Reuters; several other people also died.

A big column of smoke rose into the sky after the blast at about 0530 GMT.

4. More bad news from Iraq.
They need us there to maintain security, but what kind of a signal does it send when we can't even protect the IGC leader?
