HW 32: Summarizing Aquila Al-Hashimi

I thought I would summarize Aquila Al-Hashimi. Saturday September 27, Aqila Al-Hashimi was buried in the south of Iraq after being murdered by an unknown attacker. There are suspicions as to who was behind it, nothing is official. One of the accused is Al-Chalabi, who was also accused of the attack on the Jordanian Embassy; however Al-Chalabi rerouted his accusation to Saddam. Riverbend believes this is sort of a cop out. Al-Hashimi was said to be made an ambassadress to the UN for Iraq. It is now kind of ironic. Since her death the UN is pulling out its staff to do “security reasons” (Riverbend pages 84-85). “…the UN is pulling out…we’re getting bombed” (Riverbend page 85). This is how she tells everyone about the political situations in Iraq, if the UN is in its going good, and if their out it’s going badly.
