debka headlines fwiw:

DEBKAfile Exclusive Sources report: Radical Shiite leader Moqtada Sadr circulates bitter letter accusing ayatollahs and seminar heads of Najef and Iranian center of learning at Qom of failing the ultimate test, betrayal and leaving him and his fighters to die in the Najef shrine. Hence his appeal to Falluja Sunnis for help in teaching the “heretics” a lesson they will never forget.

DEBKAfile’s military sources: Sadr is at end of his tether. Some of his messengers to Baath and al Qaeda in Fallujah intercepted by Americans. US forces have almost purged the cemetery adjoining Imam Ali Mosque of Sadrist militia, driving them into mosque. Three Marines killed in this action Sunday. Soon, Iraqi units will go in to capture him

Radical Shiite saboteurs reportedly set fire to southern Iraqi oil well - the first time Iraqis have attacked such target. Disastrous effect expected on spiraling world oil prices

Iraqi National Congress decides to send a delegation to Najef to persuade radical cleric Moqtada Sadr to withdraw his fighters from the Imam Ali shrine and join the political process underway in Baghdad. Call initiated by Ayatollah Hussein Hadi al-Sadr, senior member of Moqtada’s family.

DEBKA-Net-Weekly 169 of Aug. 13 reported Hussein al-Sadr flew home from London last week as a calming influence for the Shiite revolt in the absence of Najef Ayatollah Ali Sistani who is undergoing medical treatment
