            <description>It&apos;s gotten so that if you want any news from Iraq, you gotta look at the pictures.

                <![CDATA[The senior leader from the New Baqubah Concerned Local Citizen’s group was killed Jan. 13 near Khalis, Iraq, when the vehicle he was in collided with a dump truck.

The body of Haji Uday was taken to Baqubah General Hospital along with his injured third in command, who was later released. Uday’s son, who was also in the vehicle, was air evacuated to a Coalition Force hospital for treatment and is currently in stable condition.

Four other Iraqis were injured in the accident.

The group had just completed a security meeting and was being escorted by the Iraqi Police when the accident occurred.

“Haji Uday courageously fought al-Qaeda in Iraq, and his efforts played a large role in evicting AQI from Baqubah,” said Col. Jon Lehr, commander, 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division. “This tragic accident is only a temporary setback. We will persevere in bringing peace and security for the people of Baqubah by working together.”

The accident is currently under investigation.
