Baghdad Sunnis, Shi'ites unite
From correspondents in Baghdad
April 7, 2004
"All of Iraq is behind Moqtada al-Sadr, we are but one body, one people," declared Sheikh Raed al-Kazami, in charge of the radical Shi'ite cleric's offices at a mosque in the Shi'ite neighbourhood of Kazimiya, west of the Iraqi capital.
"This is now Jihad (holy war) against the Americans regardless of whether we are Shi'ites or Sunnis," El Adami said. "We will each fight in our neighbourhoods without necessarily all joining (Sadr's) militia."
Similar calls for unity also appeared to be pouring in from other Sunni regions including Al-Anbar where residents sent a message to Sadr that read: "We are all behind Moqtada Sadr, we are by his side because he awakened the Iraqi people to liberate the country from the infidel invaders".
