5 months only for late Hayali as Diyala Governor

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The death of Diyala Governor, Hisham al-Hayali, along with his wife the former MP Tayseer al-Mashhadani, due to a traffic accident, raised the fear in the province which witnesses security deterioration since the Qaeda Organization reorganized its armed forces to target officials and the army forces as well as the police elements and citizens there.

Hayali, who assumed the Governor post five months and eleven days ago, had survived an assassination attempt on last April, 12 when an explosion targeted his motorcade in northern Baquba city while the accident resulted in injuring three of his bodyguards.

Late Hayali belongs to the Iraqi National Accord Front within the Iraqiya Slate, headed by Ayad Allawi.
