'The Political Downfall of a Canadian in Baghdad'
Dr. Alaa at-Tamimi, the ousted Canadian mayor of Baghdad, "is calling it quits and coming home after 15 frustrating months on the job, a wild ride that included everything from incessant complaints about trash collection and looters stealing key parts at the sewage plant to attempts on his life and an armed coup,"notes the Globe and Mail of Toronto.
The Fallujah-born engineer's ordeal is chronoicled in an informative, August 13, 2005 article headlined "The Political Downfall of a Canadian in Baghdad."
The Globe and Mail said, "Under cover of a sandstorm, heavily armed Shia militia marched into Baghdad City Hall on Monday [August 8, 2005] and announced a change in civic administration.
"I don't think I will return to office. I'm finished," Dr. Alaa al-Tamimi said yesterday [August 12, 2005]. the publication noted.
I think that's a wise decision, sir.
