Sunni and Shi'ite militias are attempting to establish separate "Islamic emirates" in some areas of Baghdad, London-based "Al-Hayat" reported on May 24. Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi's Al-Qaeda-affiliated organization has reportedly taken over the Sunni Arab districts of Al-Dura and Al-Amiriyah, local residents say. Each district has its own emir, while gunmen regularly distribute leaflets written by the Mujahedin Shura Council detailing acceptable dress and behavior. Shi'ite militiamen have taken control of the Shi'ite districts of Al-Sadr City, Al-Sha'b, Al-Qahira, Al-Baladiyat, and Baghdad al-Jadidah, where they run street patrols, and inspect government offices and girls schools for violations in dress and conduct. The daily reported that both Sunni and Shi'ite militias have killed violators.

Amazing. Who woulda thought that when Bush was claiming al-queda connections in Iraq all thos years ago, that he was simply using his psychic abilities to project years into the future.

Of course, the destruction of Iraq's political, military and social infrastructures in the interim has turned out to be just a very clever means of eventually smoking these rascals out of their lairs.
