		Hakim leaned forward on his knees and touched his forehead to a small tablet of pressed earth from the Iraqi holy city of Najaf, where he was born and where Ayatollah Khomeini lived for fourteen years, after the Shah expelled him from Iran in 1964.
		Hakim's father was the Grand Ayatollah of the Shiites, who make up about sixty per cent of the Iraqi population (and about ninety per cent of Iranians), and he had been at odds with the secular government of Iraq since the nineteen-fifties.
		I met one of Ayatollah Hakim's nephews, Mahmoud, in the house of a Hakim son-in-law in Qom.

	HAKIM BATTLE RIFLE
		FOLLOWING INFORMATIONS FROM: http://www.wapahani.com/samresar.html "The Hakim rifle was designed from the original Swedish AG-42 design, re-chambered into the more potent 7.92x57mm cartridge it was a mainstay weapon for the Egyptian military until the 1960's.
		It made use of some novel features in it's design, one of the more interestign was the muzzle brake on the rifle which helped reduce gases.
		With the countries descent into backing the Soviet Block the Hakim was phased out of service as vast numbers of AK-47's were introduced into the military pipeline".

		Ayatollah Hakim also felt reasonably safe among his own people, even though he was aware of the dangers he faced.
		Hakim, the leader of the "Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq" (Sciri), had spent the past few months living in seclusion at his headquarters a few minutes from the center of Najaf, barricaded behind walls and thick steel doors, and protected by a small army of bodyguards.
		But, as Hakim said after the ouster of Saddam, his principal opponents were the occupiers, whom he wanted to drive out of Iraq as quickly as possible.

	History of Afghanistan
		It is worth mentioning that the main strategy of the Afghan army previously sent to the Eastern and Western (Kandahar) battle grounds, and the southern field considered by the British a secondary and defensive field because of no transportation roads and the regional problems and did not send there the new strategy.
		Since Amanullah Khan was looking for a symbol for the remembrance of the independence war therefore, he made the mistake and instructed to build a monument in which the name of the mentioned personalities, instead of the names of the martyrs who bravely lost their lives for their land, was inscribed.
		Hakim who was called Hakimjan became a trustworthy communicator of Nadir in covert matters with high ranking authorities of the British government in India.

	Collecting and Shooting the Arisaka Type 99 Rifle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		It was the replacement of the Type 38 rifle and was the primary Japanese battle rifle until their surrender to Allied forces in 1945.
		Both the Long and Short Rifles were fitted with a sliding bolt cover (which traveled in narrow grooves cut in either side of the receiver as the bolt was worked) and a folding wire monopod pinned into a T-shaped block on the lower band.
		The later (1943-45) rifles are often identified as having a fixed notch rear sight instead of the customary folding/sliding leaf sight, no provision for attaching a sliding bolt cover or monopod or mounting an under barrel cleaning rod and the lack of a chrome-plated bore.

		The battle for this urban maze will be largely a battle for line of sight as it probably has been from the beginning.
		The battle began as several recent battles have: after Marines left their lines to move deeper into the city.
		The analogy of the Shuri may be especially apt, since it was on Okinawa that a large number of civilians were caught in the battle and whole families jumped from cliffs in obedience to the dictates of their Emperor rather than surrender.
