Iraq: Hashimi's Killer Is Released Due to 'Lack of Evidence'
The Iraqi judiciary acquitted and released the murderer of prominent researcher and security expert Hisham al-Hashimi last week. Spokeswoman for the judiciary Sinan Ghanem told Asharq Al-Awsat that a court had acquitted Ahmed Hamdawi al-Kinani due to a “lack of evidence.” The court’s decision came after the case was reopened last Wednesday, and al-Kinani was released Sunday, said an official with one of the country's Iran-backed militias.
