Moqtada al-Sadr, 34, is the scion of a prominent Shia Muslim religious family, renowned for its role in resisting the rule of Saddam Hussein. True. • At the fall of the regime, Sadr became a voice for disadvantaged youth. A swathe of Baghdad once known as Saddam City became Sadr City. True. • Sadr's militia, Jaish al-Madhi, led a rebellion against American administrators running Iraq in 2004. Yes, the rebellion faltered due to lack of Shia support. • US military sources claim that Iran has supplied Sadr's militia with arms and bomb-making technology True Sadr raises pressure for US to withdraw What is unsaid is Sadr withdrew to Iran as soon as the surge began. 600-700 top ranking guys in his militia arrested by US and Iraqi military. His group is in disarray. His time may have passed. Oh yeah, the above doesn't mention his groups responsibility for the murder of several rival clerics.
