...before his assassination, with only an unarmed guard to watch over him, al-Zubaidi, 61, sat in the cafeteria of the Iraqi Bar Association and told TIME that he believed the Badr Corps, the military wing of Iraq's largest Shi'ite political party, was out to get him and his fellow attorneys--and using the police to do it.
