He was the fourth council head killed in 14 months as insurgents clash with Sunnis cooperating with U.S. and Iraqi forces.

Tattoos as unseen IDs in Iraq amid violence days
In Baghdad many Shiite men adopt tattoos to mark the dead and identify remains when ID cards fail. Firas Adil Saadi, 28, bears an ornate Arabic inscription reading My brother Husam on his shoulder, supplementing paper IDs he fears will be destroyed. The practice, once taboo, spreads across social classes as a perceived safeguard against disfigurement and loss of identity in a perilous environment.
