- Making News: Confusion in Najaf
Early today, a spokesman for Iraq-s interim government announced a peaceful take-over of the Shrine of Imam Ali in Najaf, after withdrawal by Muqtada al-Sadr-s Mehdi Army. But within hours, it appeared that the claim was at least premature. Scott Balduaf of the Christian Science Monitor visited the shrine yesterday. He says whoever wins the battle between Iraqi insurgents and the emerging government will claim a crucial political victory.
