More than 500 Shi'ite Muslims marched in Baghdad Thursday to protest against the alleged arrest of several of their clerics by U.S. forces.
Some of the protesters distributed a leaflet from the previously unknown "military wing" of al-Hawza, the powerful Shi'ite religious seminary in the shrine city of Najaf.
The leaflet said U.S.-led forces would be targeted by suicide bombers if they carried out further arrests.
"We warn them that the promised day for the Intifada ... is approaching, when we will turn our bodies into bombs to blow up the wheels of the invading occupiers," it said. ---
