U.S. soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 2nd Regiment of the First Infantry Division talk with a supporter of Moqtada al-Sadr as they patrol the highway near Kufa, April 16, 2004. Shi'ite guerrillas clashed with U.S. troops near Kufa on Friday as their leader, rebel cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, defied demands that he disband his militia to spare Iraq's shrine cities from bloodshed.
