BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraqi police say gunmen have assassinated a local commander of anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in the southern city of Basra.

A police official says Ali Ghalib, a commander of al-Sadr's Mahdi Army in the Hakimiya neighborhood in central Basra, was gunned down by gunmen on a motorcycle as he was driving on Monday.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.

The assassination comes amid intensified clashes between al-Sadr's followers and the U.S.-backed Iraqi government.

Was he riding a Harley and wearing a cutoff jean jacket? I haven't seen my brother in law in a few days.

I wonder if he was killed by a supporter of Ayatollah Ali Sistani for his defiance of Sistani's advice.

It could well be Shi'ite-on-Shi'ite violence.

SCIRI (al-Hakim) against JAM (Sadr). Shia-on-Shia. That’s nothing new in Basra. As long as it destroys JAM I’m fine with it.

The last few times these things have happened it was because the target was thought to be considering coming over to our side.

Actually, the Mujahedeen (Moe's holy warriors ) go to Muhammad heaven and become faggots, They are described as "those of the right hand", and have a higher honor than regular Mohammadan murderers. It gos like this:

Qur'an 56:8 "Those of the right hand-how happy will be those of the right hand! Who will be honored in the Garden of Bliss;
Qur'an 56:13 "A multitude of those from among the first, and a few from the latter, will lay on couch-like thrones woven with gold and precious stones. Reclining, facing each other. Round about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness,[meaning their anus will always retain a virgin like quality] of never ending bloom, with goblets, jugs, and cups filled with sparkling wine. No aching of the head will they receive, nor suffer any madness, nor exhaustion. [they will not get hangovers, syphilis, or tire from anal activities]

Bukhari pencils in a little more incentive a few hundred years later, that- "there will be women too damn it!!"

Bukhari:V4B55N544 They [the Mujahedeen who make it to Moe''s funky brothel] will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be gold and their sweat will smell like musk. Their companions will be houris [virgins]. All of them will look alike and will be sixty cubits (180 feet) tall.'"

I don't think I'd want to jump on a 180 foot tall woman, virgin or not...

As if to reassure them, the Koran repeats again:

Qur'an 52:21Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young boy servants of their own (handsome) as well-guarded pearls. They will advance to each other, drawing near, engaging in mutual inquiry. They will say: 'We used to be afraid (of the punishment) in the midst of our families, but Allah has been good to us, and has delivered us from the torment of the Scorching Wind and Breath of Fire."

Sounds like it's a "gay time" in Moes brothel in Allah's "heaven" which curiously, is right next door to where he tortures all the sinners.

Mookie now useless to do anything, defanged and exiled to his safe haven in Iran while his people continue to be picked off either by the government or Iraqis who had enough of him and his militia.

Mookie has plenty of enemies as he had people murdered including competing religious leaders.

Some of the “deaths” have come earlier on anniversaries of those Mookie murders and now he’s being taken down, piece by piece.

And he can’t even get a good demonstration together. The Iraqi people are fed up with Mookie and his black clad thugs.

Another good day.
