While al-Mada reported that the number of Iraqis who fell victim to violence and terrorism rose by 15.6% in March, Az-Zaman lead with a story on the re-appearance of sectarian militias throughout Iraqi cities, coupled with a renewal of sectarian killings.
Az-Zaman (international) headlined with: “Militias resume the activities of sectarian death squads.” The newspaper report indicated that “the militias affiliated with political parties participating in the government,” (a long way of referring to the main Shi'a militias, especially the Badr organization and the Mahdi Army) “are reappearing in Baghdad."
I thought we were the ones who were "surging."
Maybe not.
