In Iraq, an armed motorcyclist shot dead Iraqi novelist Alaa Mashzoub in the city of Karbala Saturday. The 50-year-old author and poet was heading home when the shooting happened, according to police. Mashzoub was an outspoken critic of foreign intervention in Iraq, radicalism and corruption. Iraq’s writers union blamed the Iraqi government for failing to protect public intellectuals. No group has claimed responsibility for the murder.
