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.

"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.

the '2,605 others' must have been the civilians the '925 martyrs' were hiding behind.

Nice to know 925 martyrs achieved their ambition!

Well there is no going back at this point. Somehow the Persian influences must be rooted out. How. I don’t know other then the continued good HUMIT that will flow in allowing the Iraqi and US forces to make good decisions as to where to find them.
