They were wanted by coalition forces for the failed August 2007 attempt to assassinate Iraqi police commanders. While failing to kill the police commanders, the madhi cowards did manage to collaterally kill 13 Iraqi civilians & wound 50 other people. (I'm sure you read all about it in the msm.)
These madhi army guys are a real piece of work.
"The group committed 721 murders in Karbala alone and killed dozens of Sunni Muslims in a number of Iraqi cities as part of their acts of ethnic and sectarian cleansing," said Major General Raed Shakir Jawdat, the chief of police in Karbala. The Mahdi Army leaders tortured some of their captives inside mosques.
Such a holy place, these mosques.
