SCIRI Leader Targeted

Assassination attempt on Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, leader of SCIRI and the younger brother of previous (assassinated) leader Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim, at his residence and main office.

But filed under "Boy I'm sure there's an interesting story behind that."

The residence, where Hakim has his home and offices, was previously the house of Tariq Aziz, a jailed former senior aide to Saddam Hussein who has been in prison since April last year.
