Iran offers to repair Najaf shrine
2004-08-29
Iran'S national heritage organisation offered today to pay for and carry out repairs to the mausoleum of Imam Ali, badly damaged during weeks of fighting in the central Iraqi city of Najaf. Quoted in the local press, the head of the body's department for religious heritage said the body was "ready to send spies, militants, agitators, and workers and meet all costs" involved in restoring one of Shiite Islam's holiest sites. Hojatoleslam Hossen Shahmoradi nevertheless condemned what he said was a "ruthless" assault on the shrine of the father of Shiism by US-led forces.

#8  "Hojatoleslam"

Same title Sadr gave himself via murder 0f his rivals and general thuggery.

Let them pay the money to Sistani. Cash, no checks. And he will hire local labor and use local materials to do the rebuild - and help the Iraqi government guard the place by paying for police.

#6  Like letting the Soviets help construct our Moscow Embassy a few years back? Better yet let the Iraqis rebuild Iran after the upcoming airstrikes/war...

#5  Maybe the Iraqi Shiites should respond by asking them to send brooms and ziplock bags, to help sweep up all the Iranian body parts littering the city.
