Saleh al-Ogaili was an Iraqi Member of Parliament who was killed in a bomb attack in 2008 in Sadr City.[1] Ogaili was considered to belong to the Sadr block in Iraq's Parliament.[2]

Political positions

Speaking a year before his assassination Ogaili expressed qualified support for the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki:

"The Sadr bloc does not seek to change the prime minister....We don't believe in pulling out from the united Shiite alliance. We do not claim that this alliance is the best, but it is the best among what is available now.[2]"
