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.'
