Armed drone attacks Sadr's home in Najaf. Sadr out of country.
2019-12-10
[AAWSAT] The growing protests came as a drone dropped a bomb on the home of Iraqi cleric Moqtada "Tater" Sadr in the city of Najaf early Saturday but he was not in the country, sources within his party told Agence France Presse.

Sadr has backed the anti-government rallies, sending his supporters into the streets of the capital overnight to "protect protesters.”
Think he's become a burden to his Iranian puppetmasters?
He turned his back on them a while ago — now he’s an Iraqi nationalist with, ‘tis said, some connection to the Iraqi Communists.

#2  Out of the country - in Iran getting his orders, no doubt.
Also have to wonder about timing. Would think attackers would know when he was in town. Maybe false flag to whip up supporters?
