What you see above is a snapshot I made from an Arabic forum, showing a warning text saying the following:
The liars will report after a while that Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir is injured and his deputy is killed in the city Ballad.
Dear brothers this is all lies, your “Amir�? is fine
This was published 8 hours before the “Green Zone�? government reported that Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir was injured.
Yet the “Green Zone�? government used a totally new name for “Al-Muhajir�?, they called him: “Abu Adbullah Al-Majimi�?.
Islamemo reported that Iraqi Islamic resistance denied that Al-Muhajir is injured saying:
They don’t even know his name, how can they injure him and kill his deputy.
If the name is true then this is the fifth name given to Al-muhajir who is right now in a prison in Egypt, according his attorney:
[Abu Ayoub Al-Masri] Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir, is transferred to a prison in the middle of the desert about 14 hours from Cairo, even that he was declared innocent by the court.
Yet few weeks ago the US denied that they know about Al-Muhajir in a prison in Egypt:
General William Caldwell, spokesman of the Multi-National Forces, said in a statement to Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), “We have no information indicating that Abu Ayyoub is being held in a prison in Egypt .. This is the first time we have heard about such reports.”
The fun is not finished yet:
Can anybody solve this puzzle?:
How many leaders Al-Qaeda has in Iraq?…I thought his name is Abu Omar AlBaghdadi
- Accidentally, Patrick Cockburn and I used the same phrase to describe the US statements on Iraqi issues [lack of credibility] about the same subject.
Mr. Cockburn wrote a very good introduction to Muqtada Al-Sadr and his background trying to reveal the secret of his popularity.
If by any chance Mr. Cockburn read this or anybody contact him to tell there is one correction to what he wrote about Sadiq Al-Sadr, Cockburn said:
As he invariably did against opponents, and ordered his security men to ambush Sadiq and his sons in their car as they drove through the holy city of Najaf.
This issue is still debated by Iraqis:
Who killed Sadiq Al-Sadr [Muqtada’s father]?
Sadiq was shoot at in his car with his two sons by unknown people who run away from the crime scene as fast as possible.
Remember that at that time Saddam was the President of Iraq, if he wanted to execute Sadiq Al-Sadr, he will drag him to Baghdad and hang him without any hesitation.
A month ago, a former Iraqi intelligence serviceman who fled the country revealed that Iran [namely Badr organization] was behind the murder of sadiq, and the reason was very obvious, Iran wanted to dominate the highest Shiite authority in Najaf [recently represented by the Iranian Sistani].
That explains why Saddam gave his condolences to young “Muqtada Al-Sadr”, after that Muqtada enjoyed riding his first Mercedes back to najaf given to him by Saddam as a present, and this is also what Muqtada kept saying [Badr organization killed his father] for years, until the occupation.
- Al-Melaf reported that the “Association of Muslims Scholars�? [Sunni] withdraw a statement denying the rumors of meeting any Israeli officials in Jordan, without giving any further explanations.
Al-Melaf suggested that Jordanian intelligence behind this withdrawal, a phrase in the statement it says:
There is no need to establish relations with Israel, because the association receives adequate support from Arab countries like Jordan, Egypt and Qatar, who showed their concern about the Shiite crescent in the region, the nuclear issue in the Gulf, and the Iranian peace threat in the Middle East.
On Al-Hayat, Iraqi Sunni Vice President Äl-Hashmi�? accused the [AMS] of exiting the religious context and turning into a political party, but he also denying that his position is mutiny against the association.
I beg to disagree with cockburn’s later analysis in the same article you refer to. Cockburn sees M.Al Sadr as the anti imperialist, anti american, force in Iraq. Cockburn DELIBERATELY ducks the FACT that it is the Jaysh al Mahdi in particular that has been targeting all pro resistance support in Baghdad and Basrah and Cockburn DELIBERATELY downplays the OTHER FACT that Al Sadr and his boys are responsible for the death and torture that has been taking place in Baghdad for a year now… I believe Cockburn is one hell of dishonest informant!!!!
By the way, I like the new layout of your web page, much easier to access.

I also think it is weird that nobody talk about the crimes of Al-Hakim and terror organization
Which terror organization ? You mean the badr brigades or the other ones ?
Also don’t you think that Iran is behind Muqtada ?
Yes Badr
No Sadr is not an Iranian agent
so what is sadr then , a patriotic iraq amusing himself by gouging iraqis eyes out ?
Layla
I went to Iraq three years ago, in my way back from Baghdad to Amman the taxi driver was one of the “Sadr fanclub” members.
I tried to explain to him that sadr ruthless child, he always come with this argument: “but his father was a very good man”
You know this goes deep into the Shiite psychy, his father was a “good man” then his sons and grandsons must be good too.
Al-Sadr is not enjoying himself, he is using the Iraqi street to climb to power, but there is a percentage of patriotism in him, he is an Iraqi with no Iranian background, and he standing against Al-Hakim and his Iranian gangs. [I am not defending him here]
what is my post doing here ???
Don’t worry Layla
This is wordpress application doing it, I will remove it.
anyways back to Muqtada. You know that in 2004 al sadr deposed his arms after the americans stormed najaf and I know for a FACT that they did so when they received 50 dollars each… I am SURE of this information.
And you know in Iran the govt is split between hardliners and what they call reformists, well in later 04, Sadr was recuperated by the HARDLINERS in Teheran and he started taking up arms again this time against all the wahabis and jihadists i.e the sunnis…And this I am sure of as well.
I know that there are different tensions within the shi’te hawza but I still believe that the current shi’ite govt in Iraq despite their different flavors have one aim in mind.…the objective is the ULTIMATE partitioning of Iraq. And this is something that Cockburn does not mention once.…
Sorry for absence
This is true Layla, but I still think that Al-Hakim is far more dangerous than Sadr, we all know what is Muqtada’s mind and what is his goal, Al-Hakim is a snake he doing many things behind the curtains.
What Cockbyrn is doing, he is legitimizing Al-sadr aggression and considering it as resistance
Ladybird, resistance against whom exactly..?
Muqtada is not fighting the americans, he is fighting the people in Adhamiya,Hurryia,Yarmouk,Haifa,Al Amel, Al ameriya…
Badr is fully part of the goverment and I am sure they do atrocities as well and I believe that Muqtada is part and parcel of them.…
I said this part “resistance” in a negative way. criticizing Cockburn.
You re right, the parcel brought by the US, they gave these “black turbans” gang a freehand, they are against Sadr because he is not playing their game, although he is causing much troubles and doing big favor for them, but troubles uncontrolled by the US.
(video evidence of Sadr sending his scum to fight Mujahideen of Tel ‘Afar)
I think Sadr and Maliki aren’t as hateful of each other as the media makes it appear sometimes. They do have inter-Shi’a turf wars and what-not, but in the end these guys are two sides of the same coin. Over and over, we see these groups change hateful words but their actions show only collusion:
“…some members of Iraq’s governing Iraqi coalition have provided militias with protection.” BBC from when the Americans arrested Hakim al-Zamili
Similarily, in TIME magazine when the Americans played their little “surge” into Baghdad: “For the first time since the war began, U.S. forces had locked down the Baghdad slum known as Sadr City, haven to the militias and death squads loyal to rebel Shi’ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Looking for a missing U.S. soldier, the Americans cordoned off much of Sadr City, preventing hundreds of killers from slipping out. On Oct. 24, the daily murder rate fell roughly 50%. It stayed down for more than a week, until Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki demanded that the U.S. end the blockade around Sadr City.” (TIME)
Woops, no HTML? First link is from an Arabi forum and leads to video where Sadr is ordering for contingents to be sent into Iraqi army against Mujahideen of Tel ‘Afar. Second link is recent from BBC regarding the arrest of Hakim Az Zamili ar Rafidi. And the last is from a recent Time article.
and why do you think he would make much trouble..he wants to take over the iraqi govt? or he wants to be president? or he wants an islamic state in Iraq which already exists since the laws have been changed to suit the marjaieh al shiia? What is his point according to your opinion.
I saw not less than 20 you tubes on al sadr and he admits himself this is a shia govt in power , so what does he want exactly?
By the way I just saw the video from Al Haq agency just posted now on Uruknet..where they show the torture and massacres done by the Jaysh al Mahdi and supervised by the American Army…
Al Haq cleary states both in the arabic version and in the english translation that the following were present and did the massacres.
American army..bombing the houses
Al Badr, Al Mahdi of Muqtada the rapist and the militias of Jalal al Saghir…
What do you have to say about that Ladybird????
and I believe al Haq and what I have seen and heard more than I believe that friggin sell out Cockburn
