A Shiite woman, follower of radical anti-US
cleric Muqtada al-Sadr holds an Iraqi flag and a note reading 'Delegation from
martyr office of al-Sadr from Amarah city', during a march through the holy city
of Najaf, Iraq, Monday, April 9, 2007, on the fourth anniversary of the fall of
Baghdad to the US forces. Tens of thousands draped themselves in Iraqi flags and
marched through the streets of two Shiite holy cities Najaf and Kufa in a rally
that was called for by al-Sadr who issued a statement ordering his militiamen to
redouble their battle to oust American forces and argued that Iraq's army and
police should join him in defeating 'your archenemy.'[AP]
