Felicity Arbuthnot: State Murder of Daddam Hussein's Secretary!

"There was no honor left, ruin and war and the blood was flowing, Sadness, hate and the reign of arbitrary destruction." (Rachid Taha, Algerian Musician  and lyricist) Shocking details have emerged from an impeccable source of the execution on Thursday the 7th of June, in Baghdad, of Abed Hamid Hamoud, President Saddam Hussein's former personal secretary and aide. Mr Hamoud, fourth on America's asinine, juvenile playing card list of Iraq's sovereign government, has been held in jail since June 2003, after being arrested by US occupying forces. He was sentenced to death in October 2010 with former Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Tareq Aziz, and former intelligence chief, Sadoun Shakir, heightening fears for their imminent execution. "What you have not heard, states the commentator "is that Mr Hamoud was led to his execution while under the impression that he was going for a medical check up. "The Iraqi government didn't even notify his family or relatives, or make arrangements with them to deliver the body." A chilling observation on America and Britain's "New Iraq" is that the Maliki government is, so intent on revenge that they have waved the formalities of telling a person they were taking him to his execution." Deep concern is expressed for the fate of both Tareq Aziz and Sadoun Shakir in light of this appalling act. They were sentenced at the same Court hearing. Prime Minister Nuri al Maliki's Press Secretary stated earlier this year that they would execute Tareq Aziz, and now that they are done with the formalities, there is nothing to stop them. The world must know what these people have done and what I am sure they will do. God forbid, in the near future, concludes our contact bleakly, pleading that pressure be brought to "stop what they are planning to do" in the case of Tareq Aziz, Sadoun Shakir and many others! Amnesty USA has called the number of executions in Iraq alarming !
