"Lost" in L.A.: Did red light cameras snag a hitman?

This 2005 negative from a West Hollywood red light camera at Santa Monica and La Brea was taken minutes after the homicide of Noor “Nadia” Jarrah a few blocks away. The photo is apparently of Ishmael Bakir, an Iraqi born man whose bullet ridden body was found in a Tikrit back alley months later.

Mrs. Jarrah was thrust into the public eye after marrying Sayid Jarrah, one of the Oceanic 6. Perhaps coincidentally, Mr. Jarrah, a former Revolutionary Guard during Sadaam Hussein’s regime, was attending funeral services for his wife in their native Iraq around the same time Mr. Bakir was killed.

    So, um, did you just reveal something from last night’s episode without a spoiler warning?

    Holy crap – I’ve become one of THOSE people. Sorry, Spencer.
    I tucked the text in the extended entry with a warning.

    That’s not a negative, it’s a black and white photo.
