      Addition to “Who Benefits?” Post

Al-Arabiya TV reports that on February 22rd, the day of the bombing at
the Golden Mosque in Samarra:

“Al-Arabiya Television has lost its correspondent in Iraq, Atwar Bahjat,
with two other colleagues. Atwar gave the last live dispatch to
Al-Arabiya Television at 1500 gmt yesterday. Atwar disappeared after
that. The Iraqi Police today confirmed that she and two other colleagues
were assassinated in Samarra... The three journalists were covering the
attack on the shrine of the two Shi'i imams, Ali al-Hadi and Al-Hasan
al-Askari, north of Baghdad.”

Also, on February 21st:

KARBALA GOVERNOR SUSPENDS MEETING WITH AMERICANS
“(Asharq al-Awsat) Karbala governor Akeel al-Khazali announced on
February 20 that he will suspend all official contact with the Americans
to protest the improper behavior of the US officials who visited the
province last week. They did not show any respect to the province's
local security and prevented high-ranking Iraqi officials from entering
the (governor's office,) which frustrated them. He insisted that the
Americans should officially apologize for the uncivilized behavior
(including bringing dogs into the building) and that they should never
act that way again. If not, the governor said he would prevent them from
entering the office without prior approval from the Iraqi authorities.
(London-based Asharq al-Awsat, a pro-Saudi independent paper, is issued
daily.)”
