IRAQ-US-UNREST-NAJAF
Iraqi militiamen loyal to radical Shiite Muslim cleric Moqtada Sadr armed with grenade launchers and an AK-47 assault rifle take position behind sand bags in the holy city of Najaf 15 August 2004. Gunfire boomed across the city, one day after the interim government said its offensive against Shiite Muslim militiamen would continue after peace talks failed. An AFP correspondent heard tank fire and saw smoke rising from the direction of the cemetery, north of the holy shrine of Imam Ali, which has remained a militia stronghold since a spring uprising against foreign troops. .AFP PHOTO/Karim SAHIB
