Did Allawi Execute Suspected Insurgents?
by TChris
There are reports that Iraq's new Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi, executed about a half dozen suspected insurgents in June by standing them against a courtyard wall at the Bahgdad police station in handcuffs and blindfolds and shooting them. Allawi denies the accusation. The award winning journalist who broke the story has left Iraq for his own safety.
If the report is true, it lends support to Time's observation that Allawi "appears to have solid credentials for the role of strongman." Of course, so did Saddam Hussein.
