"Iraq's Shia cleric Moqtada al-Sadr has declared three days of mourning after the ratification of the 'humiliating' US-Iraq security pact.
Al-Sadr called on his supports on Friday to "put up black flags, organize mourning ceremonies across the country and hold peaceful demonstrations." [I wonder if they will flagellate themselves with chains and slice their foreheads with swords, too.]
The movement pledged to "keep up its rejection of this humiliating accord and resist through all means," Aws al-Khafaji, a close aide to the cleric was quoted by AFP as saying at a press conference.
Earlier a parliamentarian from the movement said the bloc will use its authorization against the deal which "would allow occupation forces to practice violations in the country."....."
