Quotes: From article titled 'They Tell Me They've Assassinated My Brother' - 10/31/2005
When a white-haired man in a business suit interrupted an interview that the Iraqi vice president, Adel Abdul Mahdi, was giving to four reporters at his office in Baghdad on Sunday morning, it was clear something was wrong.
"I would like to stay with you, but they tell me they've assassinated my brother," the vice president said. "He was going to work, and he was shot."
The aide [of Mahdi] said Ghalib Abdul Mahdi did not travel with bodyguards. "They targeted him because of who his brother is," he said. "They've killed several siblings of Iraqi government officials."
