Demonstrators Protest Against Al-Sadr
Protesters March Through Najaf, Demanding That Al-Sadr and His Aides Leave Holy City
abcnews.go.com

NAJAF, Iraq Sept. 10, 2004 — About 1,000 protesters marched through Najaf's old quarter Friday to demand that Muqtada al-Sadr and his aides leave this holy city that has been ravaged by fighting between the radical cleric's followers and U.S. and Iraqi troops.

Chanting, "Muqtada, the trash, is a leader of looters," the demonstrators walked past buildings hit by three weeks of fighting and insisted that al-Sadr's office be shut down. Iraqi soldiers kept the protesters from marching to al-Sadr's office.

They also demanded that the Iraqi government investigate the practices of a religious court that al-Sadr's office operated and punish those in charge of it.
