#1 Damn, I hate articles that leave out relevant detail. The guy is tagged in a Shia area, implying he's Shia, yet his people are killing Iraqi soldiers, a primarily Sunni hobby.

So, is he a Shia gang-leader / thug - primarily a criminal type since the Shia are running the show? Or a classic Sunni "Ba'athist" or "insurgent" type?
