An Iraqi member of parliment was killed today after terrorists stormed into her home and shot her dead.

Lamia Abed Khadouri al-Sagri, a member of the National Assembly and of outgoing premier Ayad Allawi’s Iraqi List party, was killed in her house in the Hay Aour neighborhood in eastern Baghdad, police Capt. Ali al-Obeidi said.

One must wonder why these terrorists decided to execute a female lawmaker instead of a male lawmaker, though if the people responsible for the murder are connected to Al Qaida in Iraq it probably has more to do with Sharia Law and the forbidding of women to make anything of their lives.

Correction:
Reuters reports al-Sagri was gunned down outside her home rather than inside of her home. The original post and title will remain based on two different accounts.
