A leader of the Sadrist movement, or Iraqis loyal to Shiite leader Moqtada al-Sadr, died of wounds sustained during his arrest by police forces in Diwaniya last month, a media source from al-Sadr's office in the province said on Saturday.

"On Saturday morning, Sadrist leader Abbas al-Gharabawi died in Diwaniya's General Hospital of wounds sustained during his arrest by emergency police forces in Afak city last month," Abu Zeinab al-Karaawi told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

Pity it wasn’t Mookie himself.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.

Not killing al Sadr remains the single biggest mistake the United States has made post Saddam.

"Al-Gharabawi was receiving treatment in the hospital and was placed under arrest," al-Karaaqi indicated.

"Uh, cardiac arrest, that is," al-Karaqi later clarified.

We pray that they didn’t make him strip to his Mickey Mouse BVDs and didn’t waterboard him before his sad death.
