Shiite militia reviving in post-election Iraq
2010-05-04
A once-feared Shiite militia that was crippled two years ago by defections and a U.S.-Iraqi crackdown has quietly started to regroup, adding street muscle to the Shiite party that emerged strongest from Iraq's parliamentary elections.

#1  Somebody (AQI? new Baath?) has been re-terrorizing Shia neighborhoods so it should be no surprise that Shia muscle re-emerges. Of course the assaults on the Shia COULD be Iran-based & done specifically to generate open acceptance of their militias.
