Dead again
Al-Bawaba is reporting that Nizar Khazraji was "was assassinated Monday on his way to attend a U.S.-called meeting of opposition groups in the southern city of Nassiriya." The story doesn't cite a source and, for the moment, seems to merit as much skepticism as previous reports of his demise.

The website also has this story on the alleged departure for Syria of Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, of the Revolutionary Command Council, who had been ordered by Saddam to defend northern Iraq against U.S. forces. Reportedly, Izzat Ibrahim, who cleared out last week from the town of Kirkuk, took with him $30 million.
