Now Bush aides are worried by the increasingly combative stance of young Shiite radicals like Moqtada al-Sadr, who controls a loosely organized militia of perhaps 10,000 members. He published his own newspaper until last week, when the CPA shut it down for inciting violence. Now many U.S. officials are urging his immediate arrest before he causes more trouble.

At least seven US soldiers were killed and 24 others injured on Sunday in their clashes with Shiite militiamen, known as the Mehdi Army, in the Sadr City near Baghdad, the US military said.
