CIA concerned about possible trial of Iraq's Vice President al-Hashemi
The director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), David Petraeus, has expressed concerns about the possible trial of Iraqi Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on charges of involvement in terrorist activities. - Hashemi is accused of ordering attacks and deadly bombings against innocent Iraqi civilians as well as government and security officials over the past years, including a November 2011 car bombing in the capital Baghdad that apparently targeted Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. [This would suggest that Tareq al-Hashemi may have been CIA's terrorist in Iraq, right? He now probably is "dead man walking".]
