Iraq - Reporter Murdered Over Muslim Wedding

The Scotsman reports that journalist and blogger, Steven Vincent was murdered because he was due to marry his Muslim interpreter.

AN American journalist who was shot dead in Basra last week was executed by Shiite extremists who knew he was intending to marry his Muslim interpreter, it has emerged.

Steven Vincent was shot a week before the planned wedding to Nouriya Itais and had already delivered a $2,500 dowry to her family.


So it appears he wasn't murdered in retribution for his writings about Iraq.

It's hard to fathom what goes on the minds of such evil people.
