al-Sadr calls for attacks on U.S. troops |
2007-04-08 |
The renegade cleric Muqtada al-Sadr The statement, stamped with al-Sadr's official seal, was distributed in the Shiite holy city of Najaf on Sunday — a day before a large demonstration there, called for by al-Sadr, to mark the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad. "You, the Iraqi army and police forces, don't walk alongside the occupiers, because they are your archenemy," the statement said. Its authenticity could not be verified. In the statement, al-Sadr — who commands an enormous following among Iraq's majority Shiites and has close allies in the Shiite-dominated government — also encouraged his followers to attack only American forces, not fellow Iraqis. "God has ordered you to be patient in front of your enemy, and unify your efforts against them — not against the sons of Iraq," the statement said, in an apparent reference to clashes between al-Sadr's Mahdi Army fighters and Iraqi troops in Diwaniyah, south of Baghdad. "You have to protect and build Iraq." Thousands of Iraqis streamed toward the Shiite holy city of Najaf for a demonstration Monday to mark the fourth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad. Witnesses said thousands of residents of Baghdad's largest Shiite slum, Sadr City, boarded buses and minivans Sunday for Najaf. "The faithful should participate in a demonstration in Najaf on April 9, demanding that the occupiers withdraw from our lands. They should carry or wear Iraqi flags," said a statement released by al-Sadr's office. On Sunday, Iraqi flags flew from most houses and shops in Sadr City. Drivers and motorcyclists affixed them to their vehicles. Police escorted convoys of pickup trucks overflowing with young boys waving Iraqi flags, en route to Najaf. |

#12 He will run this guerrillas from Tehran, just like Hizzbollah in Lebanon. One more reason to bring it to Tehran's mullahs. If you want to wipe out vermin, you've got to go for the nest. For way too long now, Moqtada Sadr has been stealing valuable oxygen from far more deserving lifeforms like roaches, lice and slime molds. |

#10 This is good becuase it will make his entire crew including himself and hopefully his reps in the gov open targets. Get ready thou becuase the Mehdi army while is no match for US they will spin up the casualties and choas for a limited period of time. That means we should brace for the media to harp blow out of proportion with no context every up tick in violence in Iraq. Cities to watch would be Basra, Najaf (we better not let them get in that dam church again), Karbala, Sadr City. Side bonus that may come of this is that if Sadr's people do as he ask it may go along way to helping US identify the infiltrators in the IP. We better finish these people this time. The catch and release policy and especially this fight knock them down stop fight knock em down stop cycle is BS should be fight knock em down kill kill smash kill check for life kill one more for sure. |

#8 Hours later, five burned and mutilated bodies remained scattered at the scene. Most of the dead were technicians who worked at auto repair shops nearby, officials said. Hmmm, you'd expect Mechanics to understand red wire-green wire, Work "Accident", or wiping out the tecnicaly trained? |

#6 Fun times ahead for those Mahdi Army boys. I am hoping we have a sniper team out there looking for a clean head shot of Al-Sadr. Hearing Sadr got his head taken off from over 300 yards away would scare the living crap out of quite a few jihadi's. |

#4 Separately, a pickup truck loaded with artillery shells exploded Sunday near a hospital south of Baghdad, killing at least 15 people. The blast left a crater 10 yards wide, the Iraqi military said. Three mortars sailed into houses in eastern Baghdad, sending six people to the hospital with breathing difficulties from a possible chemical agent, police said. Doctors said the victims' faces turned yellow and they were unable to open their eyes. One hospital official said the chemical was chlorine, and that the victims were expected to recover now how did they get their hands on arty and mortars with chlorine agents? Everyone knows there was no WMD's in Iraq.... /Dem asshole |
