Iraqi officials said the obscure messianic group was poised to launch an attack on Shiite clergy and holy sites in Najaf in the belief that it would hasten the dawn of a new age. Iraqi officials said they got wind of the plan and attempted to investigate but were attacked by the group's gunmen in a battle that also killed five Iraqi troops and two U.S. soldiers, who died when their helicopter crashed

The Iraqi gov't is already starting to back off the whole cult thing. What we are being told now is that Shia gov't used the excuse of a cult to go after some Sunnis. Its not surprising that rightwing blogs are still running with the incorrect story, and btw, the link you posted doesn't work.
