June 11, 2010Allawi might be target for assassination attempt – spokesman
BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: Al-Iraqiya bloc leader Iyad Allawi could be a target for an attempt on his life, a spokesman for the bloc revealed on Friday, adding earlier calls to protect the former Iraqi premier did not get any response so far.
“The series of targeting al-Iraqiya members has been going on ever since the period that preceded the legislative elections. We have received reports by the Iraqi intelligence agency about possible assassination attempts targeting leading members of al-Iraqiya, one of them might be Allawi,” Hayder al-Mulla told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
On June 5, a member al-Iraqiya had been killed along with two civilians in an improvised explosive device blast inside his clinic in central al-Qaim district, western al-Anbar province.
“We’ve called on the Iraqi government to provide protection for al-Iraqiya members in a bid to stop assassinations targeting them but unfortunately there was no response the government’s part,” Mulla added.
Also on June 5, unidentified gunmen clad in security forces uniform shot dead Faris Jassim al-Juburi, a candidate of al-Iraqiya, inside his house in al-Mawali village, (30 km) west of Mosul city.
On May 24, another al-Iraqiya candidate, Bashar al-Ekeidi, was killed along with his chauffeur, when unidentified gunmen opened fire on them in front of his house in al-Amil neighborhood, western Mosul.
Furthermore, on February 7, 2010, al-Iraqiya bloc female candidate Soha Abdullah Jarallah, was shot down in an attack by gunmen using guns with silencers in the area of Ras al-Jada, western Mosul.
Allawi’s bloc had won Iraq’s March 7 legislative elections with 91 seats, only two seats ahead of incumbent Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s Dawlat al-Qanoon (State of Law) which won 89 seats.
