What happened in Basra few days ago?

- Iraqi writer Daoud Al-Basri [he is from Basra him­self] writes about what hap­pened in Basra few days ago when Mahdi army took con­trol of Basra and attacked the police.

Al-Basri says this a train­ing for sleep­ing Iran­ian cells in Basra for future attacks against Gulf coun­tries by sim­i­lar sleep­ing cells in these states.

Iran­ian chang­ing tactics:

One of the most impor­tant obser­va­tions of the exist­ing con­flict in the south is that the Iran­ian aban­doned their for­mer allies the Supreme Coun­cil and the Badr Brigades, using new sec­tar­ian ele­ments of Mahdi Army, who are out of Muq­tada al-Sadr reach, and no longer con­sider him a lead­ers, per­haps one of their repeated slo­gans says it all:

O..Mahdi [the await­ing Mahdi] …. Al-Sayd [respect title for high rank Shittes cler­ics] was a sol­dier and we set him free

That means Al-Sadr was tem­porar­ily phase ended

To my infor­ma­tion the Iran­ian Rev­o­lu­tion Guards pro­vided Mahdi Army with new Iran­ian man­u­fac­tured weapons, includ­ing new IED bombs that can install by the road­side and set to jump towards its target.

Also they trained 300 Mahdi Army mem­bers to attack Gulf States with air­planes [9/11 method]

- More infor­ma­tion avail­able now about the kid­nap of the 11 Diyala tribal chiefs by PUK­me­dia:

Before they were kid­napped and in their meet­ing with Maliki, the chiefs argued and exchanged accu­sa­tions with the gov­ern­ment about the amount of money the gov­ern­ment has assigned to sup­port the “Awak­ing Coun­cil” in Diyala, the chiefs said that they didn’t receive anything.
