A top aide to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr was killed in a raid by US troops Wednesday in the Shi’ite holy city of Najaf, an Iraqi lawmaker said.
The US military, however, said American troops participated in a raid led by Iraqi forces that led to the death of a man with the same name as the aide, Sahib al-Amiri. The military described al-Amiri as a criminal involved in the use of roadside bombs.
Nassar al-Rubaie, the head of al-Sadr’s bloc in parliament, said al-Amiri was killed when American forces entered his home at dawn.
“We offer our condolences to the Iraqi people and to the al-Sadr movement for the killing of Sahib al-Amiri, one of al-Sadr’s prominent figures,” al-Rubaie said. Later Wednesday, mourners carried al-Amiri’s coffin, draped in an Iraqi flag, on a funeral procession through downtown Najaf.

This is good news, though America would be better off taking out al-Sadr.
I agree
one more down , how many more thousands to go Nuke?..great reporting!
TY. Good to see you
I believe the man was innocent of Caldwell’s claims and that he did not have a gun pointed at one of the Iraqi soldiers.
This man ran charities and is well known in Iraq for helping people.
you must be looking at another article. the jpost article doesn’t mention anyone named Caldwell. Can you supply a link?
Also, running Islamic charities does not entitle anyone to a free pass, as past events have revealed charities being used as money laundering fronts.
Thanks for your comment.
