２００４年４月で起きた自動車爆破テロ。サドル派スポークスマン曰く、我々はイギリスが犯人だという証拠を持っている、と。
この事件では警察がターゲットとなった。この事件を受けてバスラではデモが行われたのだが、デモには警察も参加。やはり犯人はイギリスだと言っている。
このことについては、警察がサドル派に侵食されている証拠と短絡し、まさかそんなことはないと納得するするのが想像力にとぼしい、先入観にこりかたまった一般人の反応かもしれない。しかし、もしあなたが同僚を殺され、その事件の真相を知っている警察職員だとして、あなたの主張と一致するグループがいたらどうするだろう。
反占領だけではなくサドル派がバスラで警察に公然と支持されている理由があるのではないのだろうか。
今回、警察はイギリス人工作員を捕獲したが、それはかつてバスラの人々が主張したテロはイギリスの犯行だとすることの何よりの証拠だった。もしイギリスが証拠の奪還にすかさずやってきたら、それを阻止し、二人を別のところに移そうとするのは当然の流れだろう。
イギリスは、そこでサドル派に引き渡そうという動きがあったので二人を救出したと言っているが、それは前後関係を入れ替え事実をごまかし、真実を知る警察に汚名を着せる詭弁ではないのだろうか。
イギリスの仕業と読んでいた警察は、いつかしっぽを捕まえてやろうと思っていたに違いない。それが、今回テロリストの逮捕に成功した大きな理由かもしれない。

for suicide bomb attacks

BASRA, Iraq - Hundreds of backers of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr took to the streets here Thursday to vent their anger at British occupation troops whom they blamed for the suicide bomb attacks that killed nearly 70 people in the area.
A local Sadr spokesman said he had evidence that British troops in the US-led coalition occupying Iraq were involved in Wednesday's deadly strikes on police facilities in Basra and nearby Zubair.
"We have evidence that the British were involved in the attacks," said Sadr spokesman Sheikh Abdul Satar al-Bahadli. He did not elaborate.
"You (British occupation troops) have failed to provide security, so leave it to the Iraqi police and militia to sort it out," he told Agence France-Presse.
Some 800 supporters of Sadr meanwhile gathered outside his office here to protest Wednesday's attacks.
At least 68 people, including 20 children, were killed and about 100 others were wounded in the deadly series of coordinated suicide bomb attacks.
Most of the dead were from almost simultaneous suicide car bombings outside three police stations in Basra, causing carnage in the busy streets as people headed to work.
Two other suicide car bombers later targeted a police academy in separate attacks in Zubair which left three Iraqi police officers dead and at least 14 people hurt.
Five of the injured were British soldiers.
The protesters, who included several Iraqi policemen, Thursday chanted slogans in support of Sadr and railing against US and British forces in Iraq.
They carried black banners including one proclaiming: "the people and the police are hand in hand with our religious leaders and they will not bow to the occupiers."
"The Iraqi people say that (Osama bin Laden's extremist network) Al-Qaeda is not involved in the attacks, which must be blamed on the criminal (British Prime Minister) Tony Blair," or "Al-Qaeda is a US deception to justify the occupation of Islamic countries," others said.
A British helicopter flew over the demonstrators and British troops were present on major roads but away from
the march's itinerary.
One 23-year-old uniformed policeman taking part in the demonstration said: "The British are the ones that attacked us, we are with our religious leaders."
"I follow Sadr all the way," said another policeman, Ahmed Salem, who said his cousin died in one of the attacks on a Basra police station.
He said that if there were clashes between Sadr's banned Mehdi Army militia and British troops of the coalition, he would side with the militia.
Another policeman, Kazem Muhammad, echoed the same sentiment, saying he would also fight with the Mehdi Army in any confrontation with British forces. He said he had lost four colleagues in Wednesday's car-bomb attacks.
Sadr, who is holed up in the holy Shiite city of Najaf, is wanted in connection with the murder of a rival, pro-US cleric.
