Straw: Murder must not deter power transfer
British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said today the killing of the head of the Iraqi Governing Council should not deter the transfer of power from US-led coalition forces next month.
Straw condemned the car bombing which killed Abdel-Zahraa Othman, also known as Izzadine Saleem, and said the leader was among “seven or eight other people” killed, he said.
