Es-Sa'id, Nuri (1888-1958)

Iraqi politician, prime minister 1930-58. In 1921 he became Iraq's first chief of general staff and a year later defence minister. From 1930 he filled the office of prime minister many times until he was assassinated in July 1958 after the coup of Brigadier Abdul Karim Kassem.

Born in Kirkuk and educated at the Istanbul Staff College for the Turkish Army, he fled to Egypt when his pan-Arab activities became suspect. In World War I he fought against the Turks under King Hussein of the Hejaz.
