MOSUL, IRAQ (April 23, 2005) – Col. Khalid Najim Abdallah, Director of Corrections for Ninewah Province, was assassinated by terrorists in Mosul Friday. His vehicle was stopped by terrorists who shot and killed Abdallah and wounded his wife and child.

Abdallah was the fifth public servant of Ninewah Province assassinated in the last five weeks– Brig. Gen. Younis Mohammad Sulaiman, Public Information Officer for the Mosul Police was assassinated on his way to work April 17. Lt. Mohammad Salih Talab, a member of the Explosives Ordinance Disposal section of the Joint Coordination Center, was assassinated on his way to work April 11. Ajeel Muhsin Al Ajeel, along with his driver, was shot in his vehicle outside Mosul General Hospital on April 10. General Waleed Khashmoula, the Director of the Anti-Corruption Department, was assassinated by a suicide bomber on March 20.

Abdallah received high praise from many of his peers. His confinement facility was selected by Baghdad officials to be the model for which all other prisons in Iraq were to be based. Abdallah was even recently asked by the Minister of Justice in Baghdad to oversee all prison operations in Iraq.

Acts such as these demonstrate terrorist’s unwillingness to allow Iraqi citizens to live in peace and choose their own destiny. Despite violent terrorist acts Iraqi citizens continue to press forward to improve their country.

Coordinated efforts between Iraqi Security Forces, Multi-National Forces and concerned citizens who provide tips for Security Forces have resulted in a trend toward improved security. Anyone with information on anti-Iraqi insurgent activities should call the Joint Coordination Center’s telephone numbers at 513462 or 07701623300.
