Iraqi Electoral Board Member Killed

Good morning.

Gunmen in Baquba targeted two brothers who serve on Iraq's electoral board, killing one and wounding the other, police in Baquba said. Police said that the gunmen who targeted the brothers who serve on the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq, were dressed in Iraqi army uniforms. Majid Jabbar Brisem al-Hamdani was killed about 2 a.m. Friday, police said.
His brother, Hamed Jabbar al-Hamdani, the head of al-Zaghamiya election center, was wounded and hospitalized.

On Thursday, 10 US Marines were also killed by a roadside bomb. 11+ were injured in that incident near Fallujah.

All of this occured during a time where security has been significantly amped up for the run up to the December 15 election.

Have a good day.
