The eye of camera saved some images of Ayatullah Sayyid Muhammad Baqer Al-Hakim moments before his martyrdom on August 29, 2003 in a deadly bombing which took place outside the holy shrine of Al-Imam Ali (as) in the holy city of Najaf, Iraq.

Ayatullah Baqer Al-Hakim was the son of eminent Marje Grand Ayatullah Sayyid Mohsin Al-Hakim (late) who possessed a lofty status in the Shiite world.
