Leader of Tharallah militia died under torture

Accord­ing to al-Badeel al-Iraqi web­site the leader of “Tha’ar Allah” or “Thar­al­lah” extrem­ists mili­tia Yusuf Musawi cap­tured in Basra among other 21 per­sons exe­cuted later in Bagh­dad with unfair [or with­out] trial [con­demned by Amnesty] and accused of killing dozens of women, men, espe­cially sci­en­tists and the Baathists had died under torture.

The source said that one of the Maliki’s advi­sors Abu Mujahid super­vised the tor­ture of the detainee, the web­site sug­gests that it is a polit­i­cal assas­si­na­tion aimed to silence the oppo­nent and hide the evi­dence because al-Musawi was not work­ing alone in smug­gling oil and com­mit­ting crimes in Basra, the arrest of al-Musawi is an embar­rass­ment to the Iraqi gov­ern­ment and some par­ties, espe­cially the Supreme Coun­cil and Ammar Al-Hakim in case al-Musawi decided to reveal his part­ners in court.

“Abu Mujahid”: Real name Qatti al-Rukabi, was a refugee in Aus­tralia known with his vul­gar­ness and rude­ness, he hold the title “Maliki’s advi­sor” with­out fur­ther infor­ma­tion [such as media advi­sor, mil­i­tary advisor.…etc], the per­son who had this posi­tion before was “Talib Jiwad” removed later and ordered to go back to Iran where he came from his nick­name was “Abu Mujahid” also and that makes “Abu Mujahid” in Maliki’s gov­ern­ment a “func­tion” and not just an inno­cent nickname.

Al-Rukabi wanted to exe­cute al-Musawi in “kut al-Hajaj” square in Basra but peo­ple close to Maliki pre­vented him from doing this because it will effect the government’s reputation.
