US Forces Attack Sadr Headquarters in Diyala Province
TEHRAN,May 11 (FNA)- US special forces attacked headquarters of the Sadr Movement in Iraq's Northern Diyala province and arrested the staff.
According to FNA dispatches, US forces have confiscated all the computers in the building.
Eye Witnesses said that a number of staff were arrested by the US forces.
US officials decline to comment on their objectives in attacking the Sadr headquarters.
Sadrists are among the main Iraqi groups and movements fiercely opposing extension of the US military mission in Iraq.
The US has pressed senior Iraqi officials to revise their decision on the US pullout and demand Washington to keep its troops in the country beyond their scheduled departure in the yearend.
Late in April, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki announced that Iraq no more needs the US forces to protect its internal security, and underlined that his government will not bow to the pressures exerted on Baghdad to accept an extended US military mission in the country.
