Coup-ridden Iraq seldom overthrows its leaders gently. In 1958, Iraqis gunned down King Feisal II and dismembered Premier Nuri as-Said's corpse.

They fired a volley into the crowd before they were overrun and took to their heels. One soldier tried to escape by scrambling up a rock pile near 42nd Street. A gang of toughs...
