U.S. Air Strikes Spread Fear in Najaf
Fri Aug 20, 5:52 AM ET Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo!
By Michael Georgy
NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - U.S. warplanes struck with such ferocity against radical Shi'ite militia in Najaf overnight that even the homing pigeons did not return afterwards to Iraq (news - web sites)'s holy city.
"I had 50 pigeons on the roof. It took me so long to train them. It is a family tradition started by my grandfather," said Mahmoud Ali, 17. "There was so much pounding that they flew away. They are all gone."
U.S. AC-130 gunships, armed with one howitzer, one 40 mm gun, and one rotating 25 mm high-speed cannon that can fire 1,800 rounds per minute, sent up orange flashes as they fired through the night.
Houses shook 2.5 miles away from the strike zone.
"There was no way to sleep. Bang, bang all night," said Aziz Hassan, 40. "Many stores are closed. I am living on bread."
Residents of the fragile houses of the Old City hid in basements. Fearing the worst, some had escaped to safer areas after firebrand cleric Moqtada al-Sadr ignored government demands to lay down his arms and disband his Mehdi Army militia.
The government has yet to carry out a threat to launch a major offensive to drive him and his men out of the sacred Imam Ali shrine where they are holed up.
Iraqis in Najaf, a holy place for millions of Shi'ites around the world, are bracing for another possible night of the thud of howitzers and use of the awesome firepower of the AC-130.
"My daughters cried all night. I told them it was nothing but they just kept crying," said Nasser Zichawi, 23, holding his three-year-old as nervous neighbors stood in the shadow of doorways.
ONSLAUGHT BACKFIRES
Many women and children have already left the Old City but the men have stayed behind to protect houses from thieves who thrive in the chaos of fighting.
If the intention of the onslaught was to break the will of Mehdi Army fighters, it had the opposite effect on a middle-aged fighter who had just come back from the front to search for his children.
"Yes I am from the Mehdi Army. I will fight. I will fight. I will kill," said Abu Seif Kathim, 42, a father of six.
His anger grew as he inspected about 30 large bullet holes on the outer wall of his brick home. Neighbors said his family fled before a U.S. soldier with a machinegun mounted on a tank opened fire and rattled the neighborhood with rapid fire bullets.
"You see this? These are my combat clothes. I have been fighting all night and I will go back. Even if they kill all my children I will fight all night," he added, unrolling an old flowing robe.
After he walked away, some young boys said they were not interested in joining the Mehdi Army. But they quickly changed their tune and said all youth belonged to it when a Sadr sympathizer stared them down.
The neighborhood was gripped by an uneasy calm.
There were fewer crackles of gunfire or mortars and the snipers seemed to be taking a break on Friday, the day of rest in the Arab world.
Those who stayed behind must go to extraordinary lengths to simply put food on the table.
Hadiya Hussein, a woman in her 50s wearing a black veil, walks an hour every day in the blistering heat past sniper positions to buy vegetables because the nearby market was burned to a crisp in the fighting.
"We can't leave the area. My husband is disabled," she said.
Violence and desperation has convinced many that both sides will do anything to win.
"You know the snipers shoot donkeys to intimidate us. The smell got to be so bad after 25 were killed that we collected them and put them in one grave just up the street," said Abdel Sanassi. "It's a warning."

Investorcg - I don't post much but feel compelled to do so on this issue. I was pretty disgusted reading the boards this morning. It was really hard to determine what really happened since so many bashers were making a field day of this -- even on Sterling's Board.
I did happen to read a post by Coreton, however, which set the record straight. Basically, he said that Sterling said (on Paltalk) the 6-billion donation was a rumor but did confirm that UC had asked for the names of all those that had worked so hard for them at the Denver races. Coreton was one of those there working for three days, along with his son. Three or four on Paltalk immediately jumped on this and blew it all out of proportion.
Coreton posted this on the CMKX community board. No one received any shares and Coreton said he was not counting on it (paraphrasing).
What sounded horrible to me at first now just sounds like UC being the kind and grateful person he is. I personally wiped Paltalk from my computer a month or so ago. I'm one of those that wishes Melvin (and now Sterling) would not use this forum. I see nothing good coming out of Paltalk, and I see a whole lot of confusion and rumors. I don't think it's a good thing to have others translating what is being said.
Anyway, if you want I can look up Coreton's post and paste it here.

This brings up a very good point....PEOPLE this stock has gone up currently 300% on absolutely nothing but pure hype. Do you people feel at all guilty for talking up a stock like this?
Do you all care if your company ever produces a diamond or is this all about whatever it takes to screw over the guy in line behind you?
Just wondering.
A disaster....
with much worse to come.....this will have far reaching effects on our country...
Fierce Fighting in Iraq's Najaf, Sadr Defiant
36 minutes ago Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo!
By Michael Georgy
NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - Fierce fighting raged in the city of Najaf on Thursday after a rebel Shi'ite cleric defied an Iraqi government threat to attack his stronghold in a holy shrine and rejected demands that he end his uprising.
U.S. aircraft and tanks pounded the area around the Imam Ali Mosque soon after Moqtada al-Sadr spurned the ultimatum from interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. Thick smoke poured into the sky as the boom of dozens of explosions shook the old city and automatic rifle fire crackled through the air.
But fighting eased an hour later, indicating the government's threatened offensive was not yet under way at the mosque where Sadr and his Mehdi Army militia have holed up.
Away from the mosque area, three mortar bombs hit a Najaf police station in quick succession, killing seven police and wounding 21 others, police said. Police said Mehdi militiamen fired the salvo.
Sadr reverted to his trademark defiance after two days in which he had appeared to be willing to disarm his militia and leave Iraq's holiest Shi'ite shrine.
Asked about the latest government demands, Sheikh Ahmed al-Sheibani, a senior Sadr aide and Mehdi Army commander, told reporters in the mosque: "It is very clear that we reject them."
The two-week rebellion has badly dented Allawi's authority, killed hundreds and rattled world oil markets. Oil prices hit a new record of $47.96 for a barrel of U.S. light crude.
Iraqi Minister of State Kasim Daoud told a news conference in Najaf the government had exhausted all peaceful means to persuade Sadr to back down and was determined to impose a military solution unless the cleric surrendered.
He said the scion of a respected Shi'ite clerical dynasty was facing his "final hours" before an attack.
Daoud vowed to liberate the Imam Ali Mosque but declined to say whether the government would storm the site itself.
Any such assault could provoke outrage among Iraq's majority Shi'ite community, especially if U.S. forces are involved.
U.S. troops in Baghdad overran the firebrand cleric's stronghold in the sprawling Shi'ite slum of Sadr City with tanks and armored vehicles, meeting little resistance, witnesses said. They later withdrew to the outskirts of the area.
SKEPTICISM
Sadr said on Wednesday his militia forces would disarm and leave the mosque if a truce was agreed with 2,000 U.S. marines encircling the city, who have pounded his militia for two weeks with warplanes, helicopter gunships and tanks.
He made his apparent concession after the government threatened to teach the Mehdi militia "a lesson they will never forget."
His subsequent posturing aroused skepticism among U.S. officials that he would back down.
"I don't think we can trust al-Sadr. I think we have to see action, not just words," National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice told Fox News.
Most Najaf residents too were skeptical fighting would end.
"What peace? I don't believe it. Look at this hell," said Talib Moussa, a 35-year-old labourer.
U.S. armored vehicles were deployed along the main roads in Baghdad's Sadr City, a slum of two million people where fierce fighting has broken out in the past two weeks.
U.S. forces said they had killed 50 militiamen on Wednesday in their push into Sadr City.
Sadr has more than once vowed to fight to the death in Najaf and has proved a wily strategist in past confrontations.
Despite the plump, bearded cleric's youth -- he is about 30 -- the latest rebellion has transformed him into the most recognizable face of resistance to the U.S. presence in Iraq.
One U.S. marine was killed in action in Najaf on Wednesday, the U.S. military said. More than 700 U.S. troops have died in action since the start of last year's U.S.-led invasion.
Al Jazeera television reported that Iraqi militants who said they captured a U.S. journalist last week had threatened to kill him within 48 hours unless U.S. forces left Najaf.
It showed footage of a man with a mustache kneeling in front of five masked men holding rifles. The channel identified the man as Micah Garen and the group as the Martyrs Brigades.

Iraq Warns al-Sadr to Surrender, or Else
By ABDUL HUSSEIN AL-OBEIDI, Associated Press Writer
NAJAF, Iraq - Shiite militants bombarded a Najaf police station with mortars Thursday, killing seven policemen and wounding 31 people after a Cabinet minister issued an ultimatum to the militants to disarm immediately or face a massive offensive by Iraqi forces.

Special Coverage
The violent clashes that have wracked the Shiite holy city of Najaf for weeks persisted Thursday, with explosions and gunfire ringing through the streets and black smoke rising over the center of the city.
The threat by Minister of State Qassim Dawoud came a day after firebrand cleric Muqtada al-Sadr agreed to a peace deal to end two weeks of fighting that pitted U.S. and Iraqi troops against his al-Mahdi militia forces, who are holed up in the revered Imam Ali shrine in Najaf.
Meanwhile, a mortar barrage slammed into a police station in the center of Najaf on Thursday, killing at least seven policemen and wounding 31 others, a hospital official said.
The police station, which is not near the Imam Ali shrine, has been the frequent target of attacks from militants loyal to al-Sadr.
The hospital was overflowing with the injured, some of whom were forced to sit on the floor as others lined the halls. Blood pooled on the floor and moans of pain echoed in the corridors.
After the attack, a police force raided a local hotel where journalists were staying, saying they suspected some of the reporters helped the attackers locate the police station.

" particularly course diamond size distribution"
From will Purcell's stockwatch article......This is why I'm here...
Have been trying to get some opinions from some of the mining experts about these very issues...apparently there is an unusual amount of LARGE stones....
Shore Gold's Star Kimberlite....5 miles from our new drill site...
That would appear to bode well for the grade of the lower portions of Star, but the most promising news was the continued recovery of larger diamonds. Although the latest samples did not produce any stones that would pique the markets interest to the same degree as the 19.71-carat stone that turned up a few weeks ago, there were several large diamonds that add to the confidence that the early Joli Fou kimberlite has a particularly coarse diamond size distribution.
Shore has processed 2,365 tonnes of material from the 235-metre level over the past few weeks, recovering nearly 450 carats of diamonds. The indicated grade of 0.19 carat per tonne has a considerable amount of promotional value on its own, but it is the recovery of 65 diamonds larger than one carat that delivers the most encouragement. Shore did not reveal how much that parcel of larger diamonds weighed, but the collection of one-carat stones may have weighed about 170 carats.
If so, the larger diamonds would account for more than one-third of the weight of the entire parcel, and that proportion compares favourably with most potentially economic diamond deposits found in Canada to date. Size is an important factor in determining the value of a diamond, so the seemingly coarse size distribution curve is a promising sign that the value of the Star diamonds will meet or beat Shore's hopes.

Iraqi Forces May Raid Najaf Holy Shrine
NAJAF, Iraq - Iraqi troops could raid Najaf's holy Imam Ali Shrine on Wednesday in a final push to root out Shiite militants hiding there while they battle U.S. forces, Iraqi Defense Minister Hazem Shaalan said.
That announcement came one day after an eight-man delegation sent to Najaf by Iraq (news - web sites)'s ongoing National Conference failed to negotiate an end to a nearly two-week uprising by militants loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
The delegates met with al-Sadr's aides Tuesday but not the cleric himself, who is believed to be hiding out in the shrine.
"Today is a day to set this compound free from its imprisonment and its vile occupation," Shaalan told the Arab-language television station Al-Arabiya.
Since peace talks have failed, "we have to turn to what's stronger and greater in order to teach them a lesson that they won't forget, and to teach others a lesson as well," Shaalan said.
After Shaalan's threat, renewed bombing and gunfire were heard near Najaf's Old City, the center of much of the previous fighting.
Shaalan said Iraqi forces were fully trained to raid one of the holiest sites in Shiite Islam. He reiterated that U.S. forces would not enter the shrine, which almost certainly would cause an uproar among the country's majority Shiites.
"There will be no American intervention in this regard. The only American intervention would be aerial protection and also securing some of the roads that lead to the compound," Shaalan said on Al-Arabiya.
"As for entering the compound, it will be 100 percent Iraqis. Our sons in the national guard have been trained on the breaking-in operation, which was easy for them."
While never referring to al-Sadr's Mahdi Army militia by name, Shaalan referred to those who occupied the shrine as a "gang dressed in the clothes of religion."
State Minister Qassim Dawoud said the planned raid on the shrine would send a message to insurgents throughout the country.
"This will be a civilized lesson for those in Fallujah, Samarra, Mosul, Yusufiyah or Basra. Their is no lenience ... with those people," he said.
A civilized lesson...
