Iraqi militia threatens US interests over film

An Iraqi militia that carried out some of the most prominent attacks on foreigners during the Iraq war on Thursday threatened US interests in the country over an anti-Islam film that has triggered protests in Libya, Egypt, Yemen and elsewhere.

"The offence caused to the messenger (Prophet Mohammad) will put all American interests in danger and we will not forgive them for that," Qais al-Khazali, leader of the Asaib al-Haq militia, said. (Reuters)
