The Mahdi Army may be doing some very deadly housecleaning, according to the buzz around Baghdad.
Sources in the capital say that Mahdi Army members have been disappearing or turning up dead in the Sadr City, Kadhimiya, and Baladiyat areas of the capital.
However, the usual anti-Mahdi Army culprits of the US and rival Iraqi militias are not to blame for the deaths and disappearances, according to the rumor mill.
These are said to be inside jobs.
According to the word on the street, a “special team” has been dispatched from Najaf to dispose of Mahdi Army members who have been criminal or disloyal, or who have “disgraced” the Mahdi Army.
Slogger has not yet been able to confirm these reports.
IraqSlogger reported earlier that the Mahdi Army was shedding members from its ranks. Assassinations of disloyal members would take those purges to a new level.
Wow. That must take some doing - disgracing the "Madhi Army".
Maybe if you have sex with more than two goats a week is a disgracable offense.
LOL

I like that. I don't care who is doing it. LOL
I've got 6 packs of root beer, that say
this "Special Team" are Iranians.
That can backfire depending on just how high the cleaning goes. Those are shots that had better not be missed. Power, like nature, abhors a vacuum.
Oh, good! Really bad muzzies killing really bad muzzies. This is fun.
Loyalty...
"He knows too much. Let's knock him out before he is captured by the Infidels"
Will the MSM mediots focus on this "civil war"?
I wouldn't bet on how anti-Iranian
Sistani is. I will say that he is
much more Pro-Iraqi. But I have no
reason to believe that if he thought
he could cut a better deal with Iran,
that he wouldn't.
But no, I think this is Muqtada,
"giving up" the uncontrollable
ones in his own organisation,
and the ones who are particularly
bloodthirsty against civilians, and
in turn, giving him, his "army" a
bad name, and in turn, making it
harder for Iran to accomplish their
goals by using their tools, Muqtada
and his 40,000 Hyenas.

Perhaps you may not have heard, but over the
past few months, there have been sporadic
reports of factions in Mutadas forces.
Rogue groups who have not allways
followed Muqtadas orders, and have
acted on their own agendas, killing,
kidnapping torturing, and robbing,
for their own pockets. Giving only
nominal, if at all, deference to
Muqtadas decrees.
This situation, gives him, as the title
suggests, the ability to "clean house"
by having "..Some torpedoes come in from
Tehran, to put the hit on 'em, While
Mutada is away in Miami, playing cards with
a judge."
This is stock and trade for Muqtada..to
put the hit on his rivals when he is "away".
Leaves me wondering, if those who Muqtada
left behind, realise that Muqtada has
betrayed them. That Muqtada is the one
who has marked them for death, and is the
one supplying ther whereabouts to
ther Coalition,k and to the Iranian
Assassins who are killing them off?
"I've got 6 packs of root beer, that say
this "Special Team" are Iranians."
My thinking exactly.
