Around 1,000 people held a demonstration today in Najaf, Iraq against the Islamist terrorist leader Muqtada al-Sadr. The protestors demanded that al-Sadr and his thugs get out of town. They also requested that Iraq’s interim government investigate the kangaroo court that al-Sadr had set up in Najaf during his reign of terror. After Iraq’s top Shiite, Ayatollah Ali Sistani, pressured al-Sadr to give up control of Najaf, police made a horrid discovery there:

At least 10 "charred and bloated" bodies have been found at a court run by Najaf revolt leader Moqtada Sadr.

The deputy police chief in Najaf said his officers had discovered a building containing the remains of people "convicted" by the court.

A correspondent for the Associated Press news agency said he saw about 10 charred and bloated bodies in the court building, including one of an elderly woman.

This is at least the third time brave Iraqis have taken to the streets to protest against al-Sadr. On May 21, over 2,000 Iraqis held a demonstration in the nearby city of Karbala against this thug's illegal control over Najaf. On May 11, about 1,000 moderate Shiite Muslims protested against al-Sadr in Najaf.
