Imad Sarsam
Imad Matti Sarsam (also transliterated: Emad) was an Iraqi orthopaedic surgeon, teaching at the Department of Orthopedics in Baghdad University and as assistant professor at the Baghdad Medical College, who was assassinated on August 31, 2004, three months after his participation in an international conference of shoulder and elbow surgeons in Washington, D.C..
His qualifications included the FRCS (UK), D.Sc (Ortho.) and M.B.Ch.B.
Circumstances of death[]
As reported on November 1, 2004 on , Imad Sarsam was killed without any obvious motive:
- He just left his surgery with his Assistant when a few men approached him, he offered to give them his bag (which had money in it) and his car but they said they did not want it. They asked him to take a walk with them, took a few steps away from his car and assistant and then they shot him and fled. We don't know what happened to his Assistant or what the motive behind the murder is.
