NAJAF, Iraq (AFP) - Iraqi police sealed off the shrine city of Najaf and neighboring Kufa amid fears of fresh violence, a week after radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr ended his bloody revolt against US troops.
Police vehicles blocked off the main road and officers fired shots in the air as people approached checkpoints ahead of Friday afternoon prayers, the major day of worship in Islam.
"We are afraid of violence after prayers in Kufa," a Sadr stronghold, one officer said.
In another sign of the lingering tensions in Najaf, around 250 locals earlier demonstrated to demand Sadr and his Mehdi Army leave the holy city, whose centre was devastated by weeks of bloody fighting with US troops.
An AFP correspondent on the scene said the small procession marched for an hour towards the Imam Ali shrine, whose surroundings were the scene of intense combat between Sadr's militia and US troops until last week.
"Moqtada, take your hands off Najaf," chanted the protestors, all residents of the Old City, the worst-hit neighbourhood during the weeks-long siege of the mausoleum.
"The residents of Najaf do not welcome you," they cried.
Many of the fighters who took part in the most serious rebellion against the occupation since the war are from the cleric's Baghdad bastion of Sadr City and the destruction they left behind them sparked widespread resentment among the locals.
Few houses in the Old City escaped untouched from the fighting. Water and electricity networks are seriously damaged, markets completely burnt down and sanitary conditions are dire.

Protests against a politician who spread war
No, not NYC, the place where "buildings fell, and a nation rose", but Najaf, where Najaf residents protest al-Sadr's thuggery:

Is every city in arab countries a holy or shrine location?
You know better than that..or should.
They should all be a place of yesterday, consequences of a nuke revolution. I knew this fool Sadr would be back attacking our troops again. This happens when polititicians get involved in war.
Amen!

Do you really understand what's going on in Iraq?

Yeah this is incrediblly NEWSWORTHY!!!
It's not "Go home Yankee!" It's get the heck out of here Al Sadr and company. Why this should be headlining across America...but I won't hold my breath for obvious reasons.
America is in a culture clash of immense proportions.
It should be obvious to all now that the only way to quell the continued violence in Iraq is to kill Al-Sadr and all his militia and send their corpses to Teheran as a warning.
Tomorrow the same 250 will be calling for the blood of the infidels who freed them. It's a muslim to muslim thing, some infidels will never understand. One must know the enemy and the enemy is Islam/Muslims. I do see the point you are presenting, that some of the people want Sadr gone. Islam the religion of idiots with chips on their shoulders and mad cows' disease.The response was approved by the Alabama Defense Force.
Najaf is - its the third holiest site in Islam, just after Mecca and Medina.
One must know the enemy and the enemy is Islam/Muslims.
All 1+ billion of them?
Yes, I will never trust them after 9/11. They will turn on you in New York second and please let me include the democrats.
"It is easy to fly into a passion--anybody can do that--but to be angry with the right person and at the right time and with the right object and in the right way--that is not easy, and it is not everyone who can do it."

I'm not in passion Valin, I am a retired soldier who served in combat and fought the enemy. If you had done so, you would see my point.
