> NAJAF, Iraq (Reuters) - Iraqi Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr ordered
> his Mehdi Army Monday to launch a broad new offensive against U.S.-
> led occupying forces following a U.S. crackdown on his strongholds in
> Baghdad and across the south.
>
> The U.S. military claimed new successes in campaigns against Sadr's
> forces and minority Sunni Muslim insurgents.
>
> But President Bush (news - web sites)'s political project in Iraq
> (news - web sites) took another blow when the Red Cross revealed it
> told Washington U.S. soldiers were systematically abusing Iraqi
> detainees months before U.S. officials admitted an isolated problem
> in one jail.
>
> Bush's main ally in Iraq, British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news -
> web sites), is now also under fire for the way his troops treated
> Iraqis. He apologized. But with public opinion never hot for war,
> British involvement in Iraq and Blair's own future were called into
> question.
>
> Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon told parliament two abuse cases
> involving British soldiers might soon lead to prosecutions.
>
> Bush, fighting for re-election in November, was due at the Pentagon
> (news - web sites) later Monday. He has stood by Defense Secretary
> Donald Rumsfeld despite calls for Rumsfeld's resignation.
>
> Shocking photographic revelations that soldiers sent to "liberate"
> Iraqis from Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) have abused and
> humiliated prisoners are undermining efforts to win Iraqi sympathy
> ahead of a handover to an Iraqi government at the end of next month.
>
> Bush has insisted that cases heading for court martial were "the
> wrongdoing of a few" swiftly dealt with. But a welter of accusations
> from Iraqis and human rights bodies and reports from the Red Cross
> suggest it is the tip of an iceberg.

> NAJAF THREAT
>
> On the military front, Sadr's chief aide told Reuters at his main
> base in the holy city of Najaf that a new phase had begun in a month-
> long insurgency across Shi'ite southern Iraq.
>
> "We have now entered a second phase of resistance," he said. But U.S.
> commanders, helped by rival Shi'ite leaders, sound increasingly
> confident of containing the Mehdi Army.
>
> Tanks flattened Sadr's office in Baghdad's Sadr City district
> overnight and U.S. spokesman Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt made a
> hard-to-verify claim that troops killed 35 fighters in the sprawling
> Shi'ite slum.
>
> U.S. forces, spurred on by mounting irritation with Sadr among
> Shi'ite elders, have also squeezed the outskirts of Najaf.
>
> With British forces around Basra, they have been taking back key
> positions such as police stations in a string of towns across Shi'ite
> southern Iraq. An armored U.S. column rolled again into the center of
> the holy city of Kerbala Monday.
>
> Hoon said the situation remained tense around Basra and Amara and
> further violence was likely in the coming days.
>
> "Our policy now is to extend the state of resistance and to move it
> to all of Iraq because of the occupiers' military escalation and
> crossing of all red lines in the holy cities of Kerbala and Najaf,"
> Sadr lieutenant Qais al-Khazali said.
>
> The U.S. commander in the Middle East, General John Abizaid, said his
> troops were doing their best to avoid inflaming religious passions by
> intruding on sacred ground.
>
> But he said: "We will be patient, but our patience won't last
> forever. There is a limit to our patience with Sadr."
>
> RED CROSS COMPLAINT
>
> There have been signs Shi'ite militants might join forces with
> minority Sunni guerrillas to the north and west, despite a history of
> strife that saw Sunnis oppress Shi'ites under Saddam.
>
> U.S. Marines made an effort to show they had restored peace to the
> Sunni Muslim city of Falluja by driving an armored convoy into the
> center for the first time since a bloody siege began last month. But
> scenes of armed guerrillas cheering the convoy's departure suggested
> that peace remains rather fragile.
>
> A report, published in the Wall Street Journal and confirmed by the
> ICRC, said Red Cross officials complained in October -- two months
> before the pictures in the first U.S. court martial case were taken --
> about prisoners being held naked in total darkness in Saddam's Abu
> Ghraib prison outside Baghdad.
>
> A U.S. military intelligence officer defended the treatment at the

> that its president went to Washington in January to alert Secretary
> of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) and Deputy Defense Secretary
> Paul Wolfowitz to the agency's concerns.
>
> Rumsfeld said he learned of problems in Iraq only in January.

> Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a member of Iraq's Governing Council, demanded
