#2 I think Tass got their turbans mixed up, I'll bet it was this guy:
US forces have released Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr's top aide Hazim al-Araji, few hours after arresting him for interrogation, Aljazeera TV has reported. US occupation forces detained al-Aaraji on Tuesday during a tribal conference in Iraq at the Palestine hotel in Baghdad. Tribal leaders negotiated his release with the US troops. "He was leaving the hotel and then was stopped by US troops. They have taken him to the 13th floor of the hotel and are questioning him," Lilli Gruber, a correspondent for Italy's RAI Uno television channel who interviewed al-Aaraji, told Reuters.

Did they hang him over the edge and do a "good cop/bad cop" on him?

#3 The guy Tass is quoting, is the guy that was arrested at his news conference this morning. He has since been released (not sure why), so this story isn't completely unbelievable. But it's more probable that Sadr is still in Najaf.

Another newsflash/rumour is that al-Zarqawi (boss type for al qaeda) is believed to be in Fallujah...
