2. halfway expected this
The Shiite group, whose leader got assasinated by the bombing last week, have chosen the dead leader's brother as the new Shiite leader. That is the same brother who was on the coalition backed group of new Iraqi leaders so he is pro-American.

Sadr on the other hand is anti-American. The Coalition forces and the new Islamic leader decided to try and over power Sadr as soon as possible to try and prevent further uprisings. We get to see if it's going to work in the next few weeks, isn't this a great time to be alive!?!
