Gunmen killed the daughter and son-in-law of former Iraqi president Abdel Salam Aref and abucted his 20-year-old grandson Rafel from their Baghdad home, police said today.
The attack happened on Monday evening in the city’s western Dakhliya neighbourhood, an officer said, asking not to be named.
The assailants left a statement proclaiming: “This is the fate reserved for traitors.”
Mr Aref was head of state from 1963 to his death in 1966. He was succeeded by his brother Abded Rahman, who was overthrown by Saddam Hussein’s Baath party two years later.
Mr Aref’s daughter Sanaa worked as a teacher while her husband was a doctor.
