WORLD EXCLUSIVE: BREAKING NEWS

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: from Arab News War Correspondent in Najaf, Iraq; filed 2 pm
GMT; April 10: Former Iraqi general Nizar Al-Khazaraji and Islamic scholar
Majid Al-Khoi'i have both been executed by Iraqi residents of Najaf,
according to five independent Iraqi witnesses to the incident who spoke to
Arab News. The two potential Iraqi leaders of the city, who were supported
by the US, "were chopped into pieces with swords and knives inside the Ali
Mosque this morning by Iraqis who accused them of being American stooges,"
one of the witnesses said. Another said that a US Special Forces Soldier,
who had been acting as their body guard, was also killed in the incident.
Al-Khoi'i's death has since been confirmed by his family in London. However,
there has been no independent confirmation of Al-Khazarji's death. Arab News
War Correspondent Essam Al-Ghalib says from Najaf that he can confirm only
that local Iraqis were talking about the death of Al-Khazarji, not that the
man had actually been killed.
