The troops who raided the Ibn Taymiyah mosque, used by Baghdad's Sunnis, appear to have been looking for weapons used by Iraq's resistance. They recovered a couple of AK-47s, hand grenades and an anti-aircraft missile, US military officials said.

Abdul Sattar, the mosque's imam, said the weapons were used by its guards. "They were there to protect ourselves," he told the Arabic TV station Al-Jazeera, which showed images of the damaged Korans.

These guys crack me up. They need to be given a weekly timeslot that comes on just after SNL..

Uh-huh. Protecting themselves with hand grenades and an anti-aircraft missile. Tears for the poor downtrodden innocent Sunnis. Why do I not believe their cries of oppression or the tone/slant of the article for that matter.
