New evidence about the Tragedy of the Shiites on the bridge

"There are reports by the Iraqi media that the death of more one thousands Shiite Iraqis on Al-Aaimah bridge has been planned in advance. The reports indicated that the bridge had been weakened from several points including the fence just prior to the incident. A source in the Interior Ministry told Al-Sabah newspaper that the investigators are now examining traces of deliberate cuts believed to be done with a hacksaw in the bridge structure."

I would say that it was Sadr that provided the crowds and some of his friends in the "resistance" that took care of the bridge and the fear. Sam is probably right, and this was part of the plan to create sectarian hate and to plunge the country into an all out civil war. I sure do hope someone will talk. Silence kills!
