Assassination attempt on Muqtada Al-sadr

I think this is related to Muqtada’s sud­den deci­sion today “Cleric threat­ens to end Iraq cease­fire”, the “Break­ing News” report on Nahrain Net [Sadrists web­site] says; the symp­toms started since month ago prob­a­bly the attempt was done by a toxic or a radio active material.

The source said; there are sus­pi­cions of Amer­i­can — Israeli and pos­si­bly British intel­li­gences behind this assas­si­na­tion attempt.

This source did not give more details but he said that the sit­u­a­tion is under control.

Related to the Al-Sadr directly, Al-Arab reported that the Com­man­der of the Awak­en­ing Coun­cil Sheikh Saad Al-lihebi [every­body wants to be a Sheikh these days] in of Fal­lu­jah, warned that Mahdi Army army fight­ers will treated just like Al-Qaeda mem­bers in case they resume their activities.

Al-lihebi says that the Awak­en­ing Coun­cil deserves all the cred­its for restor­ing sta­bil­i­ties in 33% of Iraq.

Regard­ing the deci­sion of Miliki’s Gov­ern­ment to merge 20% of Awak­en­ing mem­bers to the Iraqi army and police he said: We asked for 40% and they refuse, but we believe that the deci­sion is made by the U.S. and not by Al-Maliki or his gov­ern­ment, we are nego­ti­at­ing with the Amer­i­cans only.
