Suspicion Surrounds Death of Iraqi Scientist in U.S. Custody

By Alissa J. Rubin, Times Staff Writer


BAGHDAD — The death certificate issued by the U.S. military indicated that a prominent Iraqi government scientist in American custody for nine months had died of natural causes.

Doubtful, his family ordered an independent autopsy, which concluded that blunt-force injury caused the 65-year-old man's death.

And Mohammed Abdelmonaem Mahmoud Hamdi Alazmirli's body bore suspicious marks: He had a bruise on his nose, an abrasion on his cheek, a cut near his eye and a fractured skull.

The Pentagon has named 23 of 37 detainees who died while in U.S. custody in Iraq and Afghanistan. Alazmirli was not among those named, and the military declined to say whether he was among the other 14.<snip>

Alazmirli's case raises questions about whether similar ones exist — suspicious deaths that are not on any official U.S. lists — and what method the military is using to determine which cases are worthy of review. <snip>

but on a serious note (not reaLLy) - they had to beat him because he was hiding wmd's. :eyes:

According to our friend, Sen. Trent Lott.

Happens all the time. In fact, it's almost unnatural if you get out unscathed. Hence, Mr. Alazmirli died of natural causes.

It's so simple when you think like a Republican reptile.

But since Iraqis are untermensch, it is just "prisoner abuse."

This man was murdered by his interrogators, for not having the information they pressed him to give....

"And he would have said he had murdered God Himself if the torturers had asked him."

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

Your insights always buoy my day.

if not the Emperor* himself.

I agree, "LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"
