	t r u t h o u t - Relentless Rebel Attacks Test Shiite Endurance
		Adhering to the commands of their religious leaders in Najaf, they speak of the bombing in Kadhimiya as the latest tragedy in the long tale of suffering that dates to the founding of Shiism in the 7th century.
		Nowhere does that appear more strongly than in Kadhimiya, where fl banners bearing the names of some of the dead flutter like flags from building facades, workers are still shoveling piles of rubble from the blast and most windows lack glass.
		Kadhimiya has seen violence before; it was near here that almost 1,000 Shiite pilgrims were killed in a stampede three weeks ago that was set off by fears of a suicide bomber.

		The crowd, on its way to the Kadhimiya mosque for an important religious ceremony, panicked as rumours spread that a suicide bomber was preparing to blow himself up.
		The streets leading to the mosque are narrow, making it almost impossible for rescue workers to reach the dead and injured in the packed throng, and raising the possibility that the death toll could rise further, witnesses said.
		The Kadhimiya mosque is a major Shi'ite shrine in an old district of north Baghdad.

		The victims were among the approximately 1 million Shi'ites from Iraq, Iran, and elsewhere who cram into Baghdad's Kadhimiya suburb once a year to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Kadhim, an eighth-century Shi'ite saint.

		It was the second deadliest single attack since the US-led invasion of March 2003, and comes after days of fighting between Iraqi and US troops and activists in the remote town of Tal Afar in which some 160 people have died.
		Earlier this month more than 1,000 people died in Kadhimiya in a stampede on a bridge, triggered by rumours of a suicide bomber in a crowd during a Shi’ite religious ceremony.
		At the nearby Kadhimiya hospital, overflowing with victims, dozens of the wounded screamed in agony as they were treated on the floor, some lying in pools of their own blood.

	washingtonpost.com: Muslim Rivals Unite In Baghdad Uprising
		The exchange, in a middle-class Sunni quarter, was one scene Tuesday that appeared to challenge the assessment by U.S. military officials that Sadr speaks for only a radical fringe in Iraq and that his calls for mass resistance will resonate only with his followers.
		Directly across the Tigris River, in the heavily Shiite neighborhood of Kadhimiya, shops were shuttered and residents kept their own watch for the approach of armored columns from an occupation base at the top of the street.
		But Abu Ali Hashem, a Sistani follower and an official of a hallowed Shiite shrine, estimated that half of the neighborhood's Sistani followers were joining in Sadr's protest in the absence of any instruction otherwise from their own leader.

		The fissures between Shia and Sunni Arabs are nowhere more palpable than the districts of Kadhimiya and Adhamiya, which face each other across a bend in the river Tigris.
		Across the river, security was tight and the mood sombre at the Kadhimiya mosque as thousands of Iraqi Shia came to mourn.
		A few hundred metres from the Kadhimiya shrine, supporters of Moqtada al-Sadr, the firebrand Shia cleric from east Baghdad, held a demonstration yesterday, calling for "justice and revenge" in the name of Allah and freedom for the Iraqi people.

	Boston.com / News / World / Sunnis and Shi'ites unite in resistance
		Kadhimiya, the city's oldest Shi'ite neighborhood, has been generally calm because the people there have lived in Baghdad for generations and consider themselves a class apart from the poorer Shi'ites who follow cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
		That calm was shattered late Monday and early yesterday, when three US soldiers were killed in Kadhimiya in separate ambushes using rocket-propelled grenades.
		Nearby, though, another Kadhimiya resident, Mohammed Ali Hussein, 36, had a different view, as he proudly surveyed the Mahdi fighters and declared the "clans and the clerics" in control of the streets.

		And neither did at least 17 of his classmates at Baghdad's Kadhimiya High School, according to an examination of school and security service records as well as interviews with former teachers, students and prisoners, and relatives of the students who disappeared.
		The violent crackdown on student dissent at the school in the fall of 1981 was one of the most callous acts of the Hussein government.
		At Kadhimiya High School, where some teachers and students were complicit in the other students' fate, the staff today is divided between those who want to forget or deny the past and those who insist on a historical accounting.

	Shiites rally to Iraq vote's call, see chance to end Sunni rule
		BAGHDAD - (KRT) - Around the gold-domed mosque of Kadhimiya, in the heart of one of Baghdad's oldest Shiite neighborhoods, fresh white banners exhorting Iraqis to vote flutter in the winter sunshine alongside posters of snowy-bearded ayatollahs.
		But in Shiite neighborhoods such as Kadhimiya, election fever is building for a vote set for Jan. 30 that almost certainly will end centuries of Sunni domination over Iraq's Shiite majority.
		Just across the Tigris River from Kadhimiya lies the Sunni neighborhood of Adhamiya, where the insurgency enjoys strong support and shootouts between fl-masked rebels and U.S. troops are commonplace.

		Were it not for the cement flower planters and lamp posts blocking the end of the street, and the now-defaced wall mural of Saddam Hussein, it might have been an ordinary house.
		But the residents of Kadhimiya knew that merely to walk past the villa was to risk arrest; the mokhabarat didn't like pedestrians hearing their victims' screams.
		Perhaps the most shocking thing about the Kadhimiya secret police station was the banality of hanging people from the ceiling to beat them.

		Many Iraqis, including Kadhimiya resident Ayad Sayeed Kadhim, believe he left at the request of the U.S. military, to prepare for an all-out assault on the Sadrist militia.
