Hadi Al Kauz, a prominent Iraqi engineer and owner of General Trading, lines up a contact for Haider Al-Jubury, left, at Al Kauz's apartment in the Iraqi area in Damascus, Syria, on Monday, July 14, 2003. The sticker on Al Kauz's phone says, "Allah Akbar." which means God is above all. The men were discussing ways to do business and help rebuild Iraq as well as the safest routes and times to travel there. Al-Jubury and Emad Al-kasid have been planning the trip home to Iraq, over the last year. They are visiting their immediate families, as hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Shiite settled in Syria after the Gulf War and their uprising against Saddam Hussein in 1991.
