Bruce, did you mean this article? The anti-al-Sadr march happened in Najaf. The secretary to Gov. Adnan Al-Zurufi said about 500 protesters attempted to storm the radical cleric's office but were stopped by Iraqi forces and dispersed. The number of al-Sadr supporters at a demonstration in Baghdad, however, was much higher. About 3,000 to 4,000 marched in the northern neighborhood of Khadmiye, near Baghdad, against what they called acts of aggression by occupation forces in Sadr City. The pro-al-Sadr demonstrators called on the interim government and the Marjiya, the Shiite religious authority, to support the peace agreement between al-Sadr and Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani that halted the fighting in Najaf. People chanted "Long live Sadr. Allawi and Yawar are infidels," referring to interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and interim President Ghazi al-Yawar. They also chanted, "Oh Allawi, you coward. You are a spy of the Americans." Men and women beat their chests. cnn.com
