Female Iraqi assembly member assassinated

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraq's transitional National Assembly suffered a difficult setback Wednesday when gunmen shot and killed a lawmaker on her doorstep -- the first assembly member assassinated since the entity was voted into power on January 30.

Lamee'a Abd Khidawi, a member of outgoing interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi's legislative bloc, was shot to death when she answered the door to her house, Baghdad emergency police said. No one has yet claimed responsibility.


I'm waiting for NOW to send out the protestors to picket in front of "insurgents" locations due to the obvious civil rights violation of the this woman by the insurgents.

I won't hold my breath though...
