More than 20 killed, dozens injured in Shiite-coalition clashes in Iraq www.chinaview.cn 2004-04-04 20:43:34 @BAGHDAD, April 4 (Xinhuanet) -- More than 20 supporters of the firebrand Shiite cleric, Moqtada Sadr, were killed and dozens of others injured in the Iraqi holy city of Najaf on Sunday as Moqtadacalled for jihad, the Qatar-based al-Jazeera TV reported. @@The clashes took place after the coalition troops opened fire onthousands of Shiite demonstrators outside their base in Najaf, the channel correspondent reported. The death toll rose due to the continuing of armed clashes and the large number of seriously injured people, medical sources were quoted by the channel as saying. Moqtada Sadr called on his supporters to stop demonstrations andretaliate by guns and finally he called for jihad (holy war) in a statement issued by his office. Sadr, a young and radical Shiite cleric, has often challenged the US-led occupation and the US-appointed Iraqi Governing Council,in contrast to many other Shiite groups that have cooperated with the occupying forces. The Iraqi authorities closed down last Sunday Sadr's weekly newspaper Al Hawza for 60 days on charge of inciting violence, an act that has evoked almost daily protests by his followers. On Saturday, the marchers also complained about the arrest of a senior aide to Sadr, who they said had been detained by US forces. Enditem Related Story
