Al Sadr has a 23 year old leading his militia in Basra? It is nice to know he will not get a 24th birthday, but am I the only one who finds this a bit odd that he was in a reported leadership role?

Basra militia leader slain

The Mahdi Army received a blow when its Basra leader, Wissam al-Waili, 23, also known as Abu Qadir, was shot and killed along with his brother and two aides during a gunbattle with British and Iraqi troops, police and the British military said.

"...along with his two aides.." Were these his nannies?
