7 “Elite” Mahdi Army Terrorists Captured In Karbala
Karbala, Apr 22, (VOI) – Seven men belonging to the so-called Imam Ali Brigades were captured on Tuesday for suspected involvement in assassinations and armed operations, a security official in Karbala said.
“The security agencies arrested seven members of the Imam Ali Brigades group, including two oil police personnel, based on intelligence tips pointing to their presence inside a house in al-Ghadir neighborhood, (3 km) west of Karbala,” Maj. General Raed Shakir Jawdat, Karbala police and operations chief, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq.
“The men were involved in the assassination of a police officer, a lawyer, and five civilians months ago. They are also suspected of having set a number of vehicles ablaze during the recent incidents in Karbala a month ago,” he said.
“The Brigades are an elite group of Shiite leader Muqtdad al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army militias,” explained Jawdat.
The holy Shiite city of Karbala, 110 km southwest of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, has witnessed armed clashes coinciding with the Basra incidents, between gunmen and security forces.
The fighting left many people killed and more than 550 gunmen captured, 338 of them were released.
Armed confrontations have flared up late last month in Basra, Iraq’s second largest city and oil hub, between government forces and Sadr’s militias. The clashes coincided with angry upheavals in several southern provinces, where Sadr supporters spread.
The clashes broke out hours after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki declared a plan codenamed Saulat al-Forsan (Knights’ Assault), which he said targeted the elimination of armed groups in Basra, 590 km south of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

The following is a translation by Iraqi-American Haider Ajina from Nida’a al Rafidain News published on April 17, 2008:
Iraq’s Josef Al-Sadr says that Muqtada Al- Sadr has tainted Our Family Reputation;
–We will deal with him internally.
Alseyed Josef Alsadar a member of the honored Sadar family wrote a letter to Alrafedain news (Nida’a al Rafidain News) which said: “Muqtada al-Sadr has tainted the reputation of this respected family, and the family disowns Muqtada. We are as innocent of him as the wolf is of the blood of Josef (Biblical (Old Testament I believe) and Koranic reference). The family is working on ways to discipline him with in the family. Consultations for this are held at the highest level to come up with punishments for its rogue son.
These courageous and dangerous statements come, for the fist time, from a member of the Sadar family. Alseyed Josef al-Sadr is considered to be a member of the family with deep faith who is rarely public. It appears he has broken his silence to show the truth before it is to late.

April 23rd, 2008 at 8:22 amFind Mookie. Kill Mookie. A dead Mookie is a good Mookie.
If mookie assumes room temperature soon, he will be hailed as a martyr by too many. I wish him out of the picture as much as anyone else, but not to detriment of the Iraqi people, and our armed forces over there.
I sort of think that with him hiding out in Iran, this actually helps our cause, it allows the Iraqis to show what a piece of chicken shit mookie is, which helps create moer unity for Iraq, and strengthens the Iraqi Awakening.
Just MHO, and i am sure many of you will disagree with me, but again, MHO
