Guess the text under the photo answered my question....

At least 925 people have been killed in clashes between militiamen and security forces in Baghdad's Sadr City that began on March 25.

Are these 925 dead designated as bad guys, good and bad, civilians or a total of all Iraqis on both sides, plus innocent bystanders?

Or what?

Beats me...but there was this statement:

"There were 925 martyrs in Sadr City and 2,605 others have been wounded," Tehseen Sheikhly, spokesman for the government's Baghdad security plan, told reporters.

So not sure whose side the Government spokesmen is on?

You should see what was once the Ba'ath Party HQ. And Believers' Palace...the first target struck in the 2003 war.

They are both left as is for now.

As a reminder.

Well, since they’re all “martyrs” you know they were all good little Muslims.

Maybe to the folks at AFP it just doesn’t matter.

*************************EXCERPT***************************

WASHINGTON, April 30, 2008 – Coalition and Iraqi forces killed 11 suspected terrorists, detained three others, and seized weapons caches in Iraq over the past three days, military officials said.

Got a question....

Anyway to check on this person:

Tehseen Sheikhly, spokesman for the government's Baghdad security plan

The more I read this somewhat garbled report,,,it reads a bit like some propaganda...particularly calling the killed ... Martyrs...
