20 September, 2004
20 September 2004Two prominent Sunni clerics in Iraq, Sheikh Hazem Zeidi and Sheikh Muhammad Jadu were shot by gunmen last night and today, adding to fears of a possible Sunni-Shia conflict. Both belonged to the Muslim Scholars' Association, a conservative group that opposes the U.S. military presence in Iraq, but has worked for the release of foreign hostages. "'We hope it is not an organised campaign to assassinate the association's clerics,'" said a source for the group.
