Iraqi forces face a delicate option at the Imam Ali Shrine in Najaf where Shiite Mahdi Army insurgents hide. A failed assault could inflame Shiites worldwide, deepen anti-occupation sentiment, and bolster support for Muqtada al Sadr while officials threaten a major military attack if disarmament fails.
In Najaf a dramatic shift unfolds as Muqtada al Sadr orders his fighters to relinquish control of the Imam Ali shrine to top Shiite authorities amid ongoing clashes and a government ultimatum. Allawi pressures disarmament while militiamen insist on martyrdom or victory.
The Lancet report by bioethicist Steven Miles says U S military doctors and medics in Iraq collaborated with interrogators at Abu Ghraib, breaching medical ethics. He cites falsified death certificates, covered beatings, and revived a prisoner to continue torture, calling for reform and a full investigation.
An Army inquiry will fault at least 24 personnel for prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib while stating no senior commanders ordered the acts. It also notes medical personnel knew of abuse yet did not report it, with findings to Congress next week. The case follows the Abu Ghraib scandal and Taguba’s earlier report.
