Assassination for the brother of the spokesman for Muslim Scholars Commission

In Musil, unidentified gunmen killed the brother of Sheikh Feidi Muhammad Basher al-Feidi, brother of the official spokesman for the Muslims Scholars Commission in Iraq, Muhammad Bashar al-Feidi, in an attack in the city to the north of Iraq.

Witnesses said that four veiled men opened fire from their car at Sheikh Feid as he was leaving a mosque from al-Rifaq quarters in the downtown of the city.

In Musil also one American military source announced that four bodies were found in Musil, three of them at least for Iraqi soldiers.

Col. Michael Korillea said that the bodies were found in al-Yarmouk quarters one of the main centers for gunmen to the west of Musil. Thereby the number of Iraqi soldiers killed in the city since the deployment of the armed forces increased to 15 since last week.

Gunmen had controlled last week a large part of Musil city and occupied some 10 police centers in organized operations.

Some 1200 American soldiers and 1600 Iraqi security force members were deployed last Tuesday in the streets of the city to bring back order and withstand the armed men.
