BAHGDAD – An Iraqi amateur soccer player was shot and killed during play on Sunday.
The striker for the Buhairat amateur team was shot in the head by a fan as he was about to kick what could have been a game winner. In the final minute of play, Buhairat was down one nil to Sinjar club when a Sinjar fan shot the striker. Police Major Muthanna Khalid says that a spectator was arrested.
Improved security has more Iraqis going to sporting events, but security at amateur games is often still lax.
