They call him an aide, but he was really one of his top two partners in running the whole criminal empire show.

BAGHDAD (AP) - Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has blamed the United States and the Iraqi government for the death of a senior aide in the holy city of Najaf.
The cleric’s office issued a statement in which al-Sadr promises he won’t “forget this precious blood” but he urges his followers to “be patient.”

Friday’s statement comes hours after Riyadh al-Nouri was gunned down as he drove home after attending prayers. Al-Nouri was the director of al-Sadr’s office in Najaf.

Al-Sadr accuses “the hands of the occupiers and their tails” of being responsible for the attack. The terms are often used by the Sadrists to describe the United States and the Iraqi government that it supports.

    He blames us.

    First of all, thank you. It is nice to be appreciated.

    Second, we are just giving the management a chance to die for their beliefs. Haven’t they been telling their youth that that is the greatest use of their lives? Now that he is dead he is only half a hypocrite (since he did not press a detonator on himself).

    Nice picture.

    I am just waiting for some free-lance retired US sniper to just start taking guys like this piece of shit, out.

  10. No Holy Mosques!

    The holy city of Najaf? :twisted: holy city of Najaf? :twisted: Bullshit. I hate it when reporters say that. The holy city’s are Jerusalem and Bethlehem where Jesus Christ walked. Any location with a mosque is NOT HOLY! If it’s holy it’s because of the bullets hitting it. It is a place of evil-doers. Jesus said “Love your enemies” how can you even get close when they are trying to kill you all of the time.
