Prominent Iraqi activist Fahem al Tai shot and killed by two men on motorcycle while returning from protests in Karbala

In this file photo, Iraqi demonstrators take cover from security forces behind trash cans amidst clashes in the ongoing anti-government protests, near the local government headquarters in the central city of Karbala on November 28, 2019.

On Sunday night, he was dropped off by two friends on a motorcycle near his home, according to a neighbour. The passenger could be seen shooting Tai at least twice with a pistol that appeared to have a silencer on it, before the driver also begins shooting.The gunmen and a white vehicle then chased down the two activists who had dropped Tai off, according to a relative.More than 450 people have died and another 20,000 have been wounded since anti-regime rallies erupted in Iraq's capital and Shiite-majority south in October.

In one particularly gruesome case last week, the bruised body of 19-year-old Zahra Ali was left outside her family home in Baghdad, hours after she had gone missing.

TimOBrien your guy MikeBloomberg screwed up on two fronts StopNFrisk and telling BloombergNews not to report on him.

NPR Choice pageand, in many states, they instead give them state licenses to spread their deadly lies. Almost all NDs and a large portion of DCs, among others. VaccinesWork Good. These assholes don't realize or they just don't care about the fact that without vaccinating people die. Good. Antivaxxers kill children and elderly and immunocompromised people. Anti-vax speech isn't political and shouldn't be granted First-Amendment protections even in the US. Stepping outside the US and expecting to be able to cause deaths with impunity: MISTAKE.
