I'm surprised there is no thread on this yet. But it appears that al Qaida is behind the assassination of the Ayatollah Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim. Al Qaida is an organization composed of extremist Wahhabi's, enemies of Shi'ites.
I wonder what the Shi'ites will do in response?
I wonder what we will do?
"NAJAF, Iraq (AP) - Police have arrested 19 men - many of them foreigners and all with admitted links to al-Qaida - in the car bombing of the Imam Ali shrine in the holy Shiite city of Najaf, a senior Iraqi investigator told The Associated Press on Saturday.
Two Iraqis and two Saudis grabbed shortly after the Friday attack gave information leading to the arrest of the others, said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. They include two Kuwaitis and six Palestinians with Jordanian passports with the remainder Iraqis and Saudis, the official said, without giving a breakdown.
Initial information shows the foreigners entered Iraq from Kuwait, Syria and Jordan, the official said, adding that they belong to the Wahhabi sect of Sunni Islam."
