Rumor in the neighbourhood is that men in black are trying to enter the area.
Zeyad has provided the best and most intense-laden coverage of the aftermath, including details of his own neighborhood being threatened by the mysterious "Men In Black", likely members of Mahdi's Army, Muqti al-Sadr's gang of thugs, louses and ruffians:įierce streetfighting at my doorstep for the last 3 hours. So much information and opinions pouring forth, that it is almost impossible to keep up with events on the ground in Iraq. As far as I can tell from photos, that dome is intact.Īs one would expect, the reaction to the Shrine's attack has been fast and furious among the Iraqi and other Bloggers. The al-Askari mosque also houses a slightly smaller, more elaborately decorated domed shrine called Maqam Ghaybat, which was supposedly built over the cellar into which the Imam Mahdi disappeared before his occultation (hence his attribution, the "Hidden" Imam) in 873. The Shrine is one of the most sacred Shia landmarks, and as noted by Ian Wood commenting at the Belmont Club, was the final resting place for the 11th Imam (Hasan al-Askari) (who) was the father of the 12th Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi.the same al-Mahdi whose whose Return Iranian President Ahmadinejad apparently thinks will be hastened by his acquisition of nuclear weapons. Iraq Depresses Jesus Too - From Michelangelo's Pieta - DC/MGīy now, everyone who is familiar with the situation in Iraq, whatever Media they retrieve their information from, is aware of the Bombing of the Shrine of Imam Hasan al-Askari, which like an exfoliated onion, saw layers of its golden dome peeled off in great chunks by an explosion or two.

Senate Committee on Foreign RelationsĪlso you can call the senators from your own state to express support here FULL TEXT HERE of the Embargoed IAEA Report on Iran's Nuclear Program Whatever you may think of the shortcomings of the measure, I hope you'll join me in calling the offices of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to express support for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's $85 million democracy package for Iran. No good can come of it.It reeks of the unholy alliance: Stalin's Pact With Hitler and I am sure Ahmadinejad will turn on Putin in much the same way Hitler turned on Stalin.Įveryone gets caught in the nuclear crossfire. Everyone wants their fears assuaged but a "joint venture" between Russia and Iran is like a joint venture between Stalin and Hitler. Just for knowing, I am not buying any of it, not for a second. Iran says it agrees basic nuclear deal with RussiaīUSHEHR, Iran (Reuters) - Iran has reached a "basic" agreement with Russia on jointly enriching uranium, officials said on Sunday - but there was no immediate sign that it would suspend home-grown enrichment to allay fears that it is developing nuclear weapons. The slumbering masses want desperately not to have to deal with this. This hardly ends my fears but serves to increase them. IRAN has reached a basic agreement with Russia on a "joint venture" to enrich uranium, Iran's nuclear chief said yesterday, in a deal that could put an end to the growing international crisis over fears that Tehran wants to build atomic bombs. Iran strikes deal with Russia on uranium enrichment project
Much ado (about nothing) is being made of the "new and improved" Iran Russia deal Rest assured it is far deeper, much further along and much more dangerous than described. The IAEA, a notoriously docile, toothless, animal is final admitting to an Iranian atomic weapons program. The council has the power to impose economic and political sanctions on Iran. Security Council, but the council is waiting for the report and the outcome of the meeting before taking any concrete action. The board already reported Iran to the U.N. A report detailing Iran's uranium enrichment efforts and a secret project linked by U.S intelligence to a possible atomic weapons program will be issued Monday to the board of the U.N.
