"Al-Sadr blamed the Americans" is code-speak for Mossad.

The occupiers will not rest in our land as long as I am alive.

Speak Persian?

Riyadh al-Nouri, director of al-Sadr’s office in Najaf, was gunned down by an unknown number assailants near his home after returning from prayer services, police and Sadrist officials said.

al-Nouri was gunned down by law-abiding, freedom-loving Iraqis. Mookie, my man, it looks like this puts one less person between you and the morgue.

....interesting, "gunned down by law-abiding, freedom-loving Iraqis"....! By that logic whoever might remove certain elements of the neo-cons in DC would be a "freedom loving American?" Can't wait! Anyway, I did a bit of digging, (no graveyard humor intended) today turned up the fact that Riyadh al-Nouri was Muqtada al-Sadr's brother-in-law. It's getting closer to home, which convinces me that it's a Mossad hit. "Cui bono?"

"Riyadh al-Nouri"

I wonder how many deaths he was responsible for...
