Car bomb targets US convoy
A car bomb has exploded near a US convoy in Baghdad, wounding six people, as a senior Sunni cleric threatened a holy war against US forces in Iraq unless they leave. The car bomb, at least the third in as many days, was driven into the rear of the military convoy on Al-Baya'a highway before detonating, the army said. In the western city of Ramadi, senior Sunni cleric Sheikh Akram Ubayed Furaih used Friday prayers to call on worshippers to launch a holy war. "I ask US President (George W.) Bush to withdraw from Iraq or else Ramadi will become a graveyard for US soldiers," said the cleric, who spent three months in a prison after being arrested by the US military. "I call upon my brothers the Shiites and on all other religious groups to embark on a Jihad (holy war) against the US military to force them out of Iraq."
I think he just violated his parole.
Meanwhile, a senior US commander said Iraqi representatives will sit on a board reviewing the status of the estimated 5200 detainees held largely without trial by US-led forces. "We have asked the ministry of justice and the ministry of human rights and the multinational forces in Iraq to sit on a board that reviews the detainee cases for release," deputy commander for detainee operations in Iraq, Major General Geoffrey Miller said at Camp Bucca near the Iraqi border with Kuwait. "We believe it is prudent to have six members from the Iraqi government and three members from the multinational forces," Maj-Gen. Miller said.
