Nuri al-Said

Nuri's governments pursued close alignment with Britain, negotiated the fifty-fifty oil profit-sharing agreement of the early 1950s, created the Iraqi Development Board and brought Iraq into the Baghdad Pact of 1955. To his detractors his blend of Iraqi nationalism, conservatism, pro-Western policy and anti-communism failed to adapt to a changing society, and by the late 1950s he was deeply unpopular with several segments of it. ¹

When the coup of 14 July 1958 overthrew the monarchy, Nuri attempted to flee the country. He was captured in Baghdad and killed on 15 July 1958. ^{1 2 3}

One structured source does not meet the museum's two-source bar for naming a school. ³
