BAGHDAD — Radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr revealed Friday that he plans to create a powerful new fighting force to battle what he calls "the occupiers" in Iraq.
Al-Sadr's announcement came in the form of a statement read after Friday prayers in the holy Shiite city of Kufa. The statement called on his nearly 60,00-strong Mahdi Army militia to exercise restraint.
"The resistance will be carried out exclusively by a special group which I will announce later," Sadr's statement read, adding that "weapons will be in the hands of this group exclusively and will only be directed at the occupier," using standard terms for the American forces in Iraq.
He warned that those who disobey will be "will not be with me."
"We will keep resisting the occupier until the liberation or martyrdom," he added.
Sadr also called on his followers to help establish social services in Iraq's dominant Shiite community.
Sadr spokesman Salah al-Obeidi told AFP the action was aimed at building a more comprehensive movement that could better serve its followers.

Lawgator has already signed up to be their defense lawyer.

Things must not be going well for the Martyrs if al-Sadr is calling for a new strategy.

if he's getting new members, i wonder what happened to the old members. if we're losing this war like all the libs say, then he should have plenty of members left. they must have taken early retirement, they were promised 25 virgins if they retire early.
