After a two week clash with U S forces in Najaf al-Sadr's Mahdi Army remains intact but his image as a savior is eroding. Many Shiites blame him for the violence around Imam Ali Shrine and condemn the cleric as a dangerous maverick.
A U S patrol north of the Iraqi capital was ambushed with an improvised explosive device in Samarra, killing one American soldier and wounding four others. Maj Neal O’Brien of the 1st Infantry Division confirmed the incident as two Marines were also reported killed in Anbar earlier in the week. As of Thursday 947 U S service members have died since operations began in Iraq.
In a video aired by Al Jazeera the New York based reporter Micah Garen said he is in captivity and being treated well. He called for an end to the Najaf fighting as militants hold him and his Iraqi translator Amir Doushi. Authorities and family confirm little beyond the broadcast and reports of the abduction in Nasiriyah on August 13 by men in civilian clothes.
