BEIJING, March 19 (Xinhuanet) -- In a crazy "team-oriented" love for soccer, an Iraqi fan killed a player belonging to the opposite team as he tried to score an equalizing goal during the last minutes of the match.
"As soon as Haider Kadhim (the player) was alone in front of the goalkeeper and close to equalizing, a fan in the crowd fired a pistol at him," a senior police officer in Hilla, who declined to be named, said Thursday.
"We arrested this fan immediately but unfortunately the player died. "
The incident, which took place Saturday in Hilla, 100 km (60 miles) south of Baghdad, during a match between local teams, underlines the lawlessness of the Iraqi people.
