| Description | The U.S.-led occupation authority dispatched soldiers to shut down the newspaper of an extremist Shiite Muslim cleric Sunday, charging that the paper repeatedly published misinformation designed to incite violence against U.S. troops.
The closure prompted as many as 3,000 of the followers of the cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr, to assemble for an angry demonstration that blocked traffic on a main Baghdad thoroughfare. |
