Abdul-Majid al-Khoei

Sayyid Abdul Majid al-Musawi al-Khoei (/ˈɑːbdʊl məˈdʒiːd æl ˈhuːi/ ⓘ AHB-duul mə-JEED al HOO-ee; Arabic: عبد المجيد الموسوي الخوئي ; 16 August 1962 – 10 April 2003) was an Iraqi Shia cleric and the son of grand Ayatollah Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei.

During the Shia uprising of 1991 he took part in the fighting against Saddam's Ba'ath Party but also acted as a force of moderation attempting to minimize revenge killings.

He became its head in 1994 when his brother, Mohammed Taqi, was killed whilst driving back to Najaf from a visit to Kerbala.

Speaking in December 2002, al-Khoei said, "We are looking for a new Iraq in which everyone has a share... we want to forget the past and shake the hand of everyone".

[citation needed] According to witnesses, at the mosque he was walking with Haydar Al-Killidar Al-Rufaye, the custodian of the shrine under Saddam, and they were confronted by an angry mob, some of whom shouted "Rufaye is back" and others "Long live al-Sadr".
