BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A Kurdish lawmaker was kidnapped in Baghdad and later
found dead, a spokesman for the Kurdish bloc in parliament said Friday.

Mohammed Rihda Mahmoud was kidnapped with his driver Thursday afternoon
in the northeastern Baghdad neighborhood of Seleikh, said Firyad Rawndouzi,
spokesman for the Kurdish bloc. Hours later, both bodies were found shot
in the head and chest, Rawndouzi said.

"This is a cowardly act of terrorism committed by forces against
democracy," Rawndouzi said.

Mahmoud's Jamat Islamia has four seats of the Kurdish bloc's 53
in parliament.

2. Kurdish lawmaker and driver kidnapped, killed

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Police found the bullet-riddled bodies of a Kurdish member of parliament and his driver on the streets of a Sunni neighborhood in northern Baghdad Thursday evening, according to a fellow Iraqi parliament member.

Mohammed Ridha Mahmoud was the lone representative of the Jamat Islamia Kurdish party, or Islamic Group party, in the assembly, and the first member of the new Iraqi parliament to be killed, said Firyad Rawndouzi.

Both Mahmoud and his driver had gunshot wounds to the head and chest.

The two had been kidnapped hours earlier from Seleikh in northeastern Baghdad after Mahmoud went to a Sunni endowment office for a meeting, said Rawndouzi, who also serves as spokesman for the Kurdish bloc.

The killings came as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited the northern Iraqi town of Irbil, where she met with Kurdish leaders to press the need to work towards national reconciliation.
