Abd ar-Razzaq Said al-Naif (Arabic: عبد الرزاق النايف) was an Iraqi military officer and general and was briefly Prime Minister of Iraq during 1968 until he was deposed.
General al-Naif was critically injured in an assassination attempt on 9 July 1978 as he left the Intercontinental Hotel in London's Park Lane and died the following day.[1]
His killer, Salem Ahmed Hassan, was quickly captured. Hassan was later convicted of the shooting at the Old Bailey and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1979.[1]
General al-Naif was reportedly killed on the orders of Saddam Hussein for his political opposition to the Ba'ath Party.[2]
