Iraqi Council Member 'critically' wounded

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3124838.stm


Ms Hashimi is one of three women on the 25-member Council

One of the three woman on Iraq's Governing Council has been seriously wounded in a gun attack in western Baghdad.

Aqila al-Hashimi - the only council member to have served in the former government of Saddam Hussein - was leaving home by car when unidentified gunmen opened fire causing the vehicle to crash.

She was taken to Yarmouk hospital in Baghdad, before being transferred to a US military hospital, where she is being treated for injuries to her stomach, shoulder and leg.

1. Traitors should be shot.

At this point, the message should be crystal clear:

Collaborate with the U.S., you will die.

--------------------------------------------

"The US administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, condemned the attack, saying he was "shocked and saddened by this horrific and cowardly act".

Perhaps it's your turn for a little "Shock and awe," Mr. Bremer.

2. How could they attack the Governing Council?

Ahmad Chalabi, president of the Governing Council for September, said: "The members of the Governing Council and ministers will not be intimidated by the terrorists."
