Mosul, Apr 16, (VOI) – Unknown gunmen on Monday killed a college dean and a professor from Mosul University in two separate incidents in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, a source from Ninewa police department said on Monday.

"A group of armed men shot and killed the dean of the Political Sciences college while he was leaving the Mosul university campus this afternoon," the source told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

He added, "the incident took place while Dr Talal Younis al-Jelili had just past the university main gate."

Only one hour later, the source said, "Gunmen opened fire against Dr Jaafar Hassan Sadeq, a professor from the Faculty of Arts of Mosul University, killing him on the spot."
"The attack took place outside the dead man's house in al-Kafaat neighborhood, northeastern Mosul," he added, noting that the attackers fled the scene after the attack.

5. Wasn't Mosul supposed to be the SAFE part of Iraq?

where the Kurds were in charge?

our failure & retreat are foregone conclusions at this point. we must negotiate with the insurgents through Syria.

6. Same as Basra where violence is resurging, too. Basra was "safe"

The Brits turned over control to the Iraqis because it was so safe.
