Iraqi Shiite cleric calls U.S., Britain and Israel a 'Triad of Evil'
By The Associated Press
In a television interview Friday night, radical Shiite cleric Muqtada
al-Sadr described the United States, Israel and Britain as a "Triad of
Evil".
Speaking on state-run Iraqiya television, the anti-American al-Sadr also
said last month's attack on a Shiite shrine in the central city of Samarra
was carried "in collusion with the occupiers and the Zionist Entity of
Israel," meaning for the U.S. and Israel. Hundreds of Iraqis died in the
subsequent sectarian violence, much of which Sunni Muslims said was the
work of al-Sadr's militia, the Mahdi Army.
The Triad of Evil reference was an obvious play on words U.S. President
Bush used in his 2002 State of the Union address, when he labeled Iraq,
Iran and North Korea and "axis of evil."
