The leader of Iraq’s biggest Shiite militia complained Sunday that bombs “continue to explode” in Baghdad and that US-led security crackdown is doomed to fail, adding that Iraqi forces should operate independently of the US “occupiers”.
Many Shiites believe that bombings have continued because the Shiite-led government bowed to American pressure and convinced radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr to take his Mahdi Army fighters off the streets. (AP)
