BAGHDAD, October
6, -- Iraq's parliament condemned the assassination
of a Kurdish deputy on Friday following the
discovery of his body and that of his bodyguard in a
Sunni neighborhood.
"Parliament condemns this cowardly terrorist action
committed by a terrorist group," said the statement.
Mohammed Reda Mahmud and his bodyguard were
discovered in the street in a Sunni neighborhood in
northern Baghdad on Thursday night riddled with
bullets.
"We found his body together with his bodyguard on
Maghreb Street in Adhamiyah," said interior ministry
spokesman Brigadier General Abdel Karim Khalaf. "He
had been kidnapped earlier."
Mahmud had been on his way to meet with the Sunni
waqf, the organization overseeing mosque affairs,
when he was kidnapped.
He was the first member of the 2006 permanent
parliament to be killed. Previously insurgents had
largely left alone parliamentarians, who are
heavily-guarded.
