Sunni clerics blame Shias and US for Iraq violence |
2006-03-02 |
![]() Since a bomb blamed on Al Qaeda demolished the Golden Mosque in Samarra, one of the holiest sites in Shia Islam, sectarian violence has killed more than 400 people by government reckoning, pitching Iraq toward civil war. Qubaisi angrily listed alleged attacks on Sunnis across Iraq and accused Shia police of attacking the Baghdad home of the groupÂ’s head, Harith al-Dari, on Saturday, wounding some of DariÂ’s nieces. Qubaisi showed a group of children with bandages on their legs and arms and lying on beds. He said they had been wounded in the attack. He said Shia police had showed up at DariÂ’s house to arrest him and that when the guards opposed them a shootout erupted. |
