Najaf, surrender or die

Politics
While U.S. tanks reinforced positions along the southern flank of the Najaf mosque, Iraqi security forces tightened their grip around the 'key shrine' after the government warned the Shiites inside they must surrender or die. "This evening, Iraqi forces will reach the doors of the shrine and control it and appeal to the Mahdi Army to throw down their weapons. If they do not, we will wipe them out."
