On Twitter, social media pioneers transmitted video clips of the assassination of the Iraqi security expert Hisham Al-Hashemi in a Baghdad suburb yesterday, after a number of gunmen surrounded him and assassinated him in his car, by firing live bullets on his head.
During the past few hours, the hashtag # Hisham Al-Hashemi has become the most Arably traded, and the fastest-traded on the Twitter site, with a lot of disapproval of this brutality in killing a defenseless person.

The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazimi, within a few hours of the incident, formed a high-level investigation committee, headed by the Undersecretary of the Iraqi Intelligence Ministry, and Al-Kazemi pledged to pursue those responsible for the assassination of Al-Hashemi, stressing that his government will not allow the assassinations to return to the Iraqi scene again.
Al-Hashemi, forty, was known as a security expert and political analyst, specializing in the affairs of extremist groups, appearing daily on Arab TV channels, and was one of the most prominent activists during the recent Iraqi demonstrations.
Al-Hashemi wrote hours before his murder, on his Twitter account: "Most of the young people who are druming for corrupt politicians are looking for crumbs and food remnants from their tables and money that were stolen by the corrupt, they know nothing of the moment of drumming to the power of the corrupt, they have no camel or camel in it. ".
Early in the day, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kazimi referred the commander of the first division of the Federal Police to investigation, along with a senior Iraqi police official, against the background of the assassination of Hashemi.
