GUNMEN killed the daughter and son-in-law of former Iraqi president Abdel Salam Aref and abucted his 20-year-old grandson Rafel from their Baghdad home, police said today.

The attack happened on Monday evening in the city's western Dakhliya neighbourhood, an officer said, asking not to be named.

The assailants left a statement proclaiming: "This is the fate reserved for traitors."

Mr Aref was head of state from 1963 to his death in 1966. He was succeeded by his brother Abded Rahman, who was overthrown by Saddam Hussein's Baath party two years later.

ITHACA, N.Y. - Nearly half of all Americans believe the U.S. government should restrict the civil liberties of Muslim Americans, according to a nationwide poll.

The survey conducted by Cornell University also found that Republicans and people who described themselves as highly religious were more apt to support curtailing Muslims' civil liberties than Democrats or people who are less religious.

Researchers also found that respondents who paid more attention to television news were more likely to fear terrorist attacks and support limiting the rights of Muslim Americans.

"It's sad news. It's disturbing news. But it's not unpredictable," said Mahdi Bray, executive director of the Muslim American Society. "The nation is at war, even if it's not a traditional war. We just have to remain vigilant and continue to interface." ...
