| US forces kill 16 Shiites in Baghdad |
| 2007-03-31 |
| (KUNA) -- 16 followers of Iraqi Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr were killed and 14 others injured in a US air raid on Sabaa village, to the east of Sadr City in Baghdad, an Iraqi security source was quoted as saying here Friday. The US air raid, which was launched on al-Shaaira and al-Jadar in Sabaa village in Sadr City, came in response to a call by Moqtada al-Sadr, who has not been around for several months, for a mass demonstration against the presence of foreign forces in Iraq. The demonstration call synchronizes with the fourth anniversary of the US-led war in Iraq. Al-Sadr said in a release circulated at al-Kofa Mosque in Najaf City "I invite you to a mass demonstration in Najaf on April 9th on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of occupation of Iraq." He also called on US and allied forces in Iraq to leave the country, saying that no one whoever had the right to extend the stay of occupying forces in Iraq. It is only the Iraqi people, who are opposed to the foreign military presence in the country, who can say yes or no to such a matter, he added. He also urged all Arab and Muslim peoples to support the Iraqi people and back Iraqi resistance, accusing the foreign occupation of "isolating" Iraq from the Arab and Muslim space and spurring communal sedition in the region. |

| #2 16 followers of Iraqi Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr were killed and 14 others injured in a US air raid Allahu akbar! I invite you to a mass demonstration in Najaf on April 9th on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of occupation of Iraq." I suppose it would be asking way too much to drop a MOAB there. Gotta test the shelf life on those things anyway, don't we? We can always say "Whoops, fell out of the plane by accident!" And a few more incidents like that would be almost guaranteed to end the mass demonstrations, at least. It is only the Iraqi people, who are opposed to the foreign military presence in the country, who can say yes or no to such a matter, he added. He obviously doesn't read much news. accusing the foreign occupation of "isolating" Iraq from the Arab and Muslim space and spurring communal sedition in the region ??? |
