#2 Hotair
According to the Times, the shrine had been under the protection of local predominantly Sunni guards. But American military and Iraqi security officials had recently become concerned that the local unit had been infiltrated by Al Qaeda forces in Iraq. Why the Shiite-run Ministry of Interior would have wanted mostly Sunni guards minding a Shiite shrine that had once notoriously been bombed by Sunnis is completely beyond me. But Sadr has already exploited the incident, withdrawing his MPs from parliament to protest government impotence and blaming the incident on the occupation.
