Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesman Brigadier General Abdul Karim Khalaf told Radio Free Iraq today that authorities are determined to bring to justice those responsible for the killing:
"They are criminals, butchers, murderers," Khalaf said. "This martyr [Khamail Muhsin Khalaf], who served the country for more than 30 years -- we express condolences to her family first, and we express condolences to our journalist colleagues for her loss. And this is a vow from the Interior Ministry -- that those criminals will not escape justice, and soon we will bring them to justice to give them their punishment."
