Mis­lead­ing head­line: 250 Insur­gents Killed in Battle

The details say:

Provin­cial Gov. Assad Sul­tan Abu Kilel said the assault was launched because the insur­gents planned to attack Shi­ite pil­grims and cler­ics dur­ing cer­e­monies mark­ing Ashoura

The real­ity is:

I hope you peo­ple heard about “Al-Mahdi

For sure this is not good news for the Shi­ite reli­gious author­ity in Najaf [com­pe­ti­tion???, spe­cially in the Shi­ite Ashura cer­e­mony, which means that the sky will rain money], so they informed the “Green Zone” the neces­sity to arrest at the head of this group and his fol­low­ers, but it seems the group was well pre­pared for this attack.

P.S.

The group is [anti-Iran] though

    but I found his list of high prices (at which he’s out­raged) inter­est­ing. It looks to me as though the price of gaso­line is still being sub­si­dized. There were a num­ber of inter­est­ing (if dis­turb­ing) things posted at Roads to Iraq this week but I found this com­ment about the mil­i­tary engage­ment in Najaf yes­ter­day the most inter­est­ing: appar­ently, the Shi’ite sect that was engaged was anti-Iran. Then Some! has a rather inter­est­ing com­men­tary on the engagement:
