Salam's Story in German Weser Kurier in Bremen published on 3 July 2011. Salam was most brutally murdered by a sticky bomb attached to his car on the morning of 10 May 2011. He was burned to ashes in his car by the explosion. Nothing was left of him except a few bones which were put in a plastic bag, handed to my brother Dilshad and later buried in Arbil-Irak next to my mother who died on 22 January 2011.

Salam, the Director General (GM) of the General State cement Company of the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals since 2003, was a strong advocate of justice and honesty. He was killed because he wanted to stop corruption and theft of state property. Corruption is indeed worse than political or religious terrorism and more wide spread. The small and relatively unimportant terrorists are shown in media again and again but unfortunately these very terrorists have become victims and have come to work as a veil to hide the bigger terrorists who can be whole states, traders of weapons or men of corruption, theft and bribery
