Al-Qaeda man kills his own father...

Can Al-Qaeda get more perverse???

A man linked with the Al-Qaida insurgency in Iraq shot and killed his own father while he slept in his bed Friday for his refusal to quit his work as an interpreter for the US military, police said. The deadly attack was unusual in that it targeted an immediate family member for murder because of collaborating with the enemy.

Hameed al-Daraji, 50, worked as a contractor and translator for the US military for seven years since shortly after the US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.

He was shot in the chest about 3 a.m. while sleeping in his house in Samarra, a former insurgent stronghold 60 miles (95 kilometers) north of Baghdad, police Lt. Emad Muhsin said.
