Iraqi Shiite leader killed in attack at Ali mosque CNN - A prominent Iraqi Shiite Muslim leader was shot and stabbed to death Thursday in an attack that began inside the Imam Ali Mosque in Najaf. He was shot inside the Mosque (probably the most holy mosque in Iraq), dragged outside and stabbed. This is the "religion of peace" but it has been hijacked. Who will free it? The peaceful muslim nations? Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks talked last week about how Iraqi forces had taken up positions inside Najaf’s Ali Mosque. 10:23:44 AM
