Al-Saghir Blames Sunni Arab Parties, Press for Mosque Bombing

"Jalal al-Din al-Saghir is the Shiite politician who may have been targeted by the suicide bombing of the Buratha mosque on Friday that killed over 80 and wounded at least 130. Al-Hayat reports that he has now blamed Sunni Arabs for the bombing. He also accused the al-Basa'ir newspaper of the Association of Muslim Scholars and the al-I`tisam newspaper of Adnan Dulaimi's Sunni fundamentalists for what he called a campaign of distortion and lies against the Buratha Mosque, insofar as they alleged that it was being used as a secret prison and even mass-grave site for captured Sunnis.

In his Friday prayer sermon, Shaikh Abdul Mahdi al-Karbala'i (the lieutenant of Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani) called in Karbala for a solution to the political gridlock through compromising on some issues. He warned that Sistani's willingness to shepherd the United Iraqi Alliance depends on the party maintaining its unity. He said of Sistani's concern for the party, "This fatherly shadow cannot continue to be cast if separation and division occur." He urged the UIA to feel its responsibility."
