Iraqi security chief arrested in alleged assassination plot

How did the security chief of Najaf province come to be someone who would even consider starting a "terrorist cell"? Because no one is asking the right questions about Islam and jihad ideology. From AP, with thanks to Kemaste:

(Baghdad, Iraq-AP, Nov. 29, 2004 9:12 AM) _ The governor of Iraq's Shiite-dominated Najaf province says police have arrested his own security chief in an alleged plot to assassinate him.

The governor says the security official was "planning to establish a terrorist cell." The governor and other top regional officials were the alleged targets.
