She said when al Sadr launched his insurgency in Sadr City in 2004, he used the tactic of putting children in the first row of the attack, then old people in the second row, then Mahdi gunmen shooting from behind. I arrived in Iraq in early summer 2004, so I missed the events in Najaf where the US and Sadr's forces had the shoot out in the cemetery in April of that year. I'm not aware of the case you're referring to in Sadr City. However, it wouldn't surprise me since the Mahdi army crammed children into the Mosque they had occupied in Najaf. csmonitor.com Hawk
