A Sawha forces leader and four of his family members were killed Friday (July 13th) when gunmen attacked on his house north of Hilla, Babil province, Iraqi police said.

"Suspected al-Qaeda gunmen attacked the house of Sheikh Hassan Dandoun, general commander of the Sahwa forces in Babil, in the town of Iskandariya, north of Hilla," said Lt. Col. Ali Abdullah al-Jurani of the Babil police.

"Dandoun has been one of the most prominent anti-al-Qaeda fighters in the province, and has scored several victories against its cells in the area," he told Al-Shorfa.

The gunmen tied up Dandoun, his wife and his three sons, and shot them execution-style before escaping, al-Jurani said.

From the religious point of view terrorism has been defined as a global phenomenon that is not attributable to religion and does not respect people, which is the result of extremism, and it is hard to find a community in contemporary societies free of it. It is aggression practiced by individuals, groups or states trespassing on the rights of religion, blood, the mind, his wealth, and honor and includes intimidation and abuse, threats and murder and related images of banditry and highway robbery and every act of violence or threat. It also aims to spread horror among the people or intimidate them by harming or endangering their lives or their freedom or security, and also causing damage to the environment or the utilities and public or private property or putting a national or natural resource at risk. Terrorism as defined has no religion and no divine religion or legislation encourages extremism and terrorism.
