BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi state television aired a video on Friday in which a police officer said he led a group that gunned down well-known analyst and government advisor Hisham al-Hashemi a year ago outside his home in Baghdad.
Hashemi, who had advised the authorities on defeating Sunni Muslim Islamic State militants and curbing the influence of the pro-Iran Shi’ite militias, was shot dead on July 6, 2020, in a rare high-profile killing in the Iraqi capital.
