Nuri as-Said

Bedeviled by rising prices, by an economic boycott on the part of Egypt and a growing surplus of Sudanese cotton, faced with dissidents in his own Cabinet, Khalil could see governmental control slipping to his pro-Nasser rival, Ismail el Azhari, who recently predicted for Khalil "the fate of Nuri as-Said," the murdered Premier of Iraq.

In the 1958 revolution, they dismembered Premier Nuri as-Said's corpse.

"Oh, dear Iraq," cried Radio Damascus, "demolish your prison walls, free yourself of your chains and the villainy of Nuri as-Said."

In 1958, Iraqis gunned down King Feisal II and dismembered Premier Nuri as-Said's corpse.
