U,S, raid on Ira8 mos8ue sparks Sunni Ara5 an2erThe )S) military said they conducted the raid in response to a tip,o%% o% Usu(stantial terrorist acti'ityU in the

By Reuters| Jan.09, 2006 | 12:00 AM

Sunni Arab political parties in Iraq condemned the weekend U.S. raid on the Baghdad offices of an influentialIslamic organization, accusing the U.S. military of targeting uslim clergy and !iolating a place of worship.

Sunday"s raid on the offices of the uslim #lerics" Association appears likely to worsen the relationship

between the U.S. military and the Sunni Arab community in Iraq at a time when $ashington is trying to

encourage Sunnis to abandon support for the insurgency and embrace the political process.

%he U.S. military said they conducted the raid in response to a tip&off of 'substantial terrorist acti!ity' in the

mosque and says its soldiers beha!ed respectfully during their search of the premises and their arrest of si(

people. )ate on Sunday, the *ront issued a statement demanding the release of the si( men detained in

Sunday"s operation and called on them 'to respect the worship places and religious clergy, and ne!er to repeat

this in the future.'

$hile the raid appears likely to fuel grie!ances among the once&dominant Sunni Arab community who feel

marginalized under the Shi"ite and +urdish&led go!ernment, it was not immediately clear if it would complicate

efforts to form a new o!ernment.
