Husham al-Hashimi (Template:Lang-ar; 9 May 1973 – 6 July 2020) was an Iraqi historian and researcher in security and strategic affairs and extremist groups, and a specialist on the subject of the Islamic state and its supporters.[2][3][4][5] He also was an advisor to the Iraqi government on counter-terrorism.[6]

Biography

Al-Hashimi was born in 1973 in Baghdad. He became a historian[7] and researcher[8] in security[9] and strategic affairs.[10][11][12] He has been a follower of the Iraqi Islamic groups since 1997.[13] He has worked in the field of modern and "jurisprudential" manuscripts, although his academic achievement was Bachelor of Economics and Administration - Statistics Department. He held a scientific degree in Hadith, and had an interest in the history of Al-Dhahabi.[14] He was arrested and sentenced to prison by Saddam Hussein's regime, due to his affiliation with Salafi jihadism, then he was released from prison in 2002.[15] After 2003, he went to work in the press, began writing reports and documents with foreign newspapers and channels, and began writing a blog about the map of armed groups in Iraq.[16][17][18][19][20] On 1 July 2020, he published a report titled "The internal dispute within the Popular Mobilization Forces", his last work before his assassination.[21]

Assassination

On 6 July 2020, he was seriously wounded outside his home in Zayouna, Baghdad by two unidentified gunmen on a motorcycle.[22][23] He died in the nearby Ibn Al-Nafees hospital shortly after arrival.[24]

He was buried at Wadi-us-Salaam, Al-Najaf, Iraq.[25]

Aftermath

His death triggered a national uproar in Iraq and among the larger international community,[26][27][28] leading to allegations accusing paramilitary groups such as Kata'ib Hezbollah and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant,[1] while the official investigation has not accused any group, and no group has claimed responsibility. However, Al-Hashimi has reportedly received direct death and kidnapping threats from members and commanders within Kata'ib Hezbollah and the Popular Mobilization Forces.[29][30]
