murder of Abdul Majid al-Khoei

to the editor: Moktada al-Sadr's influence in modern Iraq surged four years agowhen he murdered his rival Abdul Majid al-Khoei and got away with it.Mr. Maliki's government will not have any credibility at home orabroad until and unless it levels and pursues charges against mr.al-Sadr for the murder of al-Khoei. Until that happens, Kurds andSunnis would be naive to expect justice from such a government andShiites will treat mr. Maliki as a tool to be used and discarded atconvenience.
