U.S., Iraqi forces arrest top aide to al-Sadr

It's a start, now on to the fat toothless SOB behind it all.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. and Iraqi forces arrested one of Muqtada al-Sadr’s top aides Friday in Baghdad, his office said, as pressure increases on the radical Shiite cleric’s militia ahead of a planned security sweep aimed at stemming the sectarian violence ransacking the capital.

Sheik Abdul-Hadi al-Darraji, al-Sadr’s media director in Baghdad, was captured Friday and his personal guard was killed, according to another senior al-Sadr aide.
