April 7, 2004 - (Al-Nahdhah) – An announcement concerning details of the assassination of Shia leader Ayatollah Sayyid Abdul Majeed al-Khoei will be issued within the next 24 hours, Ayad Alawi, Chairman of the Governing Council’s Security Committee, has announced. The Ministries of Interior and Justice will make the announcement, he said, which would be backed up by photos and "tangible" evidence. Alawi said the decision to issue the announcement came after the GC summoned investigators and judges supervising the investigations into Khoei’s assassination. The GC wanted to learn the details of the case and understand to what extent Mustafa al-Yaqubi and other supporters of Muqtada al-Sadr may be involved. (Al-Nahdhah is a daily newspaper issued by Adnan al-Pachachi, GC member and head of Independent Democrats Movement.)

This sounds like a very significant development.
If they have proof of al-SAdr's participation in the murder of al-Khoei, he's finished. I think the muslim world will turn on him.
Should be very interesting.........
