and then death came for him
Steven Vincent, an NRO contributor, was murdered yesterday in Iraq. K-Lo writes:
According to an e-mail from Vincent's wife sent on Tuesday night, Vincent and his Iraqi translator, Nour Weidi, were "snatched in front of a bank on Tuesday, August 2nd at 6:30 P.M. local time. Two men drove up, grabbed them, threw them in a car and took off. Nour dropped her ID on the street, which is how the British were able to figure out who it was." Hours later, the American embassy in Baghdad would confirm Vincent dead, and his translator seriously wounded. Vincent's body was found on the side of a highway. He had been shot multiple times in the head.
I remember seeing the vague headlines on the news sites yesterday, but didn't click through to see who it was.
Please pray for his family. May he rest in peace.
