Sadr aide killing by US soldier causes anger
By: Ismail Zabeeh
HOLY NAJAF, Iraq: After a US soldier martyred a senior ally of
cleric Moqtada As-Sadr during a raid on his house, tension was
mounting in the holy city of Najaf.
According to Sadr supporters and local police the US and Iraqi
soldiers had stormed the family home of Sahib al-Ameri, the president
of a pro-Sadr political foundation in the holy city of Najaf, and shot
him dead.
The US military confirmed one of its troops had shot Ameri in an
overnight raid by Iraqi forces, backed up by coalition military
advisers.
Hundreds of mourners marched from Sadr's office in Najaf to the
revered shrine of Imam Ali (AS) chanting anti-American slogans and
denouncing Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki.
Najaf police chief General Abdel Karim Mustapha blamed Ameri's death
on the American military, as did a senior lawmakers from Sadr's party.
