Followers of radical anti-US cleric Muqtada al-Sadr tear up an American flag
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.'
