Abu Deri Back in Business

"On Thursday Voices of Iraq reported that police in Kerbala have been distributing pictures of one of the most wanted criminals in Iraq. The pictures have been given primarily to the checkpoints in and around the city so officers can identify and immediately arrest "Abu Deri", who was a commander in the Mehdi Army. He has carried out so many terrible crimes in the capital that is was reported his personal bodyguards had been withdrawn by Al-Sadr. That means even amongst the many blood-thirsty criminals in the Mehdi Army this one man stands out. According to Iraqi intelligence, Abu Deri is now back in Iraq after spending several months in Iran.

I was visiting family in Qum when I first heard he was in Iran. Under the protection of Iranian intelligence he would travel from center to center and house to house re-telling his disturbing and twisted stories. I was invited by a friend to attend one of these gatherings but declined. I would rather stay at home and stare at a brick wall then be in the presence of this mass-murderer. When my friend came back he had lost some colour in his face and explained "I thought I was going to be hearing about what was done to captured terrorists, but now I feel sick". Abu Deri personally oversaw the cold-blooded torture and execution of innocent Sunni civilians killed mercilessly in Baghdad.

He would mention with pride the way he would kidnap civilians, torture and then set them on fire. Twice he used an ambulance (Health Ministry is under Sadrist control) to gather innocent civilians in A'dhamiya under the pretext of "giving blood to your brothers". Those poor civilians who went out of their way to give blood to their brothers had their lives taken. After being driven to parts of Baghdad under Sadrist control they were put to death. Some Abu Deri shot in the back of the head at point blank range, others had their throats slit and he laughed when he mentioned that "one guy...we just locked up and let him starve to death"."

Is it just me, or does that picture look doctored?
