Shiite Militia Withdraws From Najaf Police Sites Amid Cease-Fire
As Fallujah sees the fiercest fighting since Saddam’s fall, Muqtada al Sadr orders al Mahdi Army to pull from Najaf Karbala and Kufa police and government sites. U.S. aims to kill or capture Sadr while pressing talks and broader assault options. Casualties exceed 700 insurgents and 70 coalition troops this month, with over 600 Iraqis killed in Fallujah. Sadr’s representative and Ali al Sistani urge restraint, and U.S. generals signal shifts to rely on former Saddam-era officers to bolster Iraqi forces.
