#1 The fighting comes one day after Najaf's new police chief Ghaleb al-Jazairi accused militiamen of "terrorising" residents and asked them to leave

Does that make this a police action? I have to admit that the go slow approach has yielded unexpectedly good results both in Najaf and Fallujah. Snipers and blockades are guaranteed to reduce enthusiasm for both martyrdom and jihad.
