| Three Iraqi clerics wanted in connection of killing six youths in Fallujah |
| 2004-06-28 |
| The Grand Crimes Court Sunday issued arrest warrants for three clerics in connection with killing six youths and mutilating their bodies in the city of Fallujah. Sources said that the warrants were issued for the arrest of head of the Mujahideen Front Sheikh Abdullah Al-Janabi, Sheikh Zafer Al-Dulaimi, an imam (prayers leader) of a mosque which came under U.S. shelling some two months ago after reports had it that it harbored foreign militants, and Sheikh Omar Hadid. The warrants said that the three instigated the execution and mutilation of six youths of the Al-Sadr city in Baghdad after being detained by extremists in Fallujah. The sources said that the warrants were issued by the court, while other sources said that they were issued upon orders from the American Civil Administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer. The killing of the six youths received wide-scale condemnation of tribal, political and religious leaders. |

| #5 Yes, LH, it will be interesting to see how the new govt will handle Fallujah. Will they act immediately and forcefully, or will they pretend it's not a problem? It seems to me they should start off with a decisive military act to show that they mean business, and no more of this BS is going to be tolerated. |

| #4 no matter how holy you are, mutilating and killing SHIA from Sadr City is NOT a wise move in the new Iraq. Fallujah will learn that soon. |

| #3 But then how's a holy man to get to heaven if he's not allowed to execute and mutilate six innocent youths? |

| #2 Robert - I presume these are the Shi'a truck drivers who were killed about a week ago (reported here on RB, of course!), right? |
