Ayatollah
al Hakeem was shahid outside of the Imam Ali ('a) Shrine after
delivering a khutbah on Iraqi unity on Friday 1st Rajab, 1424.
His death was caused by a massive car bomb planted by
terrorists which exploded outside of the mosque killing nearly
100 other worshippers who were leaving the mosque. 100s were
also critically and seriously wounded in the attack. This brutal bombing has
occurred one week after an assassination attempt against Grand
Ayatullah Said Muhammed Saeed Al-Hakeem, which killed two of his
bodyguards and his driver. It has been reported that the attack had
been done by the same people who killed Ayatollah Said
Mohammed Baqir Al-Hakeem. Agha
Said Mohammed Saeed Al Hakeem is the uncle of Ayatollah Said
Mohammed Baqir Al-Hakeem. Inna
lillahi wa inna illayhi rajiun
