1919 GMT - A chemical bomb plot that could have killed 20,000 people has been uncovered, Jordanian officials claimed. The plot, believ ed to have been planned by a Qaeda-linked militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, allegedly targeted the General Intelligence Department, the U.S. Embassy and the prime minister's office.

This was actually posted this weekend. I think this ties into
why al-sadr's uprising started. I have run a few searches and reports imply the weapons originated in Syria. There were also reports last week (didn't get much press) about Syria starting
to capture and torture Kurds. Count was 1000 and arbritray capture would continue.

I understand and have read everything AL posted, but I am really starting to believe there is more to this than a rogue cleric and some tribal conflicts. To me it looks like Syria and Iran are using al-sadr as a pawn and a distraction.
