Following Tuesday’s clash in Karbala, Pentagon officials said the U.S. military is concerned about al-Sadr but is uncertain whether he poses a significant threat. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymi ty, said they remain committed to disarming militias — including al-Sadr’s — but declined to say whether they planned to con front his followers. At his headquarters in Najaf, south of Karbala, al-Sadr demanded the Americans set a timetable for withdrawal. “Whoever coop erates with the occupation forces is not a Shiite. Indeed, they are not Muslims,” he said. In other developments Tuesday: —A spokeswoman for the U.S. 4th Infantry Division, Maj. Josslyn Aberle, said the military did not have any reports that Saddam was hiding in his hometown of Tikrit. This countered a statement Monday by a 4th ID officer that the deposed presi dent was recently in the area. —Insurgents launched attacks on Iraqi police in the northern city of Mosul, killing one policeman and wounding two others in a drive-by shooting, the U.S. military said. —In central Iraq’s Sunni Muslim heart land, 100 people gathered at the main mosque in Fallujah to demand release oft cleric arrested Monday by U.S. troops.
