U.S. troops raid Sunni clerics' Iraq office - report

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. troops launched a pre-dawn raid on Sunday on the headquarters of the influential Sunni Arab Muslim Clerics' Association, which opposes the U.S. occupation, and detained five people, the association said.

U.S. troops burst into the Umm al-Qora mosque complex in western Baghdad at 3 a.m. (0000 GMT), blowing doors off hinges and ransacking offices, an association official who declined to be named told Reuters.

The U.S. military said it was checking the report.

Reuters Television footage showed spent shotgun shells and special explosive charges used to blow out door locks lying on the ground. Many office doors showed signs of forced entry.

In one room, cupboards used to store the shoes of those attending prayers had what appeared to be Christian crosses scrawled on them. Other footage showed papers strewn on office floors and windows smashed.

2. This is turning into the Muslims against the Christians.
Or should I say the American Christian Radical Right against the Muslims.

8. The Generals are sending down these orders for recruiting purposes...
They are doing a fantastic job... of recruiting people to the ranks of those who will actively resist the US occupation.

Bring the troops home NOW!
We don't need no freaking benchmarks!
