From Associated Press...
KARBALA - Militiamen loyal to a radical Shiite cleric clashed with Polish troops Wednesday in this holy city, and an aide to the cleric was killed, his office reported. Fighters from the militia of cleric Moqtada al-Sadr fired on a Polish patrol in Karbala, sparking a gunbattle in the streets. During the fighting, al-Sadr aide Muntadhir al-Mussawi — who is also a cleric — was killed, his office said. Later, mourners carried away his body, chanting, "Today we will free Karbala from the Jews."

#8  Of course the Arab networks would say it was just a member. They are nothing but propoganda outlets. Read Zayed's post and his reference to Al Jazeera. Assholes.

#7  From Fox News (scroll down to 'Also at this hour'):

— Polish troops killed the head of militant Iraqi Cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's (search) office in Kerbala during clashes in the holy Shi'ite city, Iraqi police said. But Arab networks reported that "a member" -- not the head -- of al-Sadr's office was killed.

Either way, well done!

The Mehdi army expresses racist hate for the Jews, and the Mehdi army is fought, vigourously and effectively, by the army of POLAND!!!!!

We Shall Not Forget!!! Victory to Polish Arms!!! The battle of Karbala continues.

#1  Polish troops have killed the head of militant Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr's office in Kerbala during clashes in the holy Shi'ite city, Iraqi police say. Police spokesman Rahman Mashawi told Reuters on Wednesday Murtada al-Mussawi, who ran Sadr's Kerbala office, was killed in fighting with Polish troops in the centre of town.
