| Iraq Minister: We Will Arrest Sadr |
| 2004-08-10 |
| Iraqi Interior Minister Falah al-Nakib said Monday he is ready to arrest radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr if a judicial order is issued. Al-Nakib was quoted by Saudi daily al-Sharq al-Awsat as saying there currently is no official arrest warrant against Sadr, whose followers in al-Mehdi Army have been battling U.S.-backed Iraqi forces in the holy city of Najaf for the past five days. "Until now I have not been informed of any official warrant to arrest Moqtada Sadr ... This matter is in the hands of the Iraqi judicial authorities, and once it comes to us at the ministry we will not procrastinate in implementing the warrant," al-Nakib told the paper which is monitored in Beirut. He said the Iraqi authorities will not negotiate with Sadr before he disbands his militia. There is no plan to start dialogue with Sadr at present, not before |

| #4 Hopefully Tater's arrest will go like this: BLAM-BLAM-BLAM-BLAM (THUD-THUD-THUD-SPLAT) Halt! Police! Oops. Somebody get a mop. (muahaha) |

| #3 This will be the test if the Iraqi government will impliment its control or not. Tater is directly confronting the authority of the new government. If he is negotiated with or is allowed the freedom to play his dirty little game, then the new govt. will get nowhere. They have to systematically clean out each mess, like Tater, Najaf, Fallujah, etc or they will have failed. |
