The LAT and NYT front Shiite leaders ripping into the U.S. for what Iraqis said was a raid on a mosque that killed at least 16 civilians, including Shiite politicians. As the WP emphasizes, the U.S. said it wasn't a mosque and was a "hugely successful" operation against a "terrorist cell." They also said the operation was led by Iraqi troops. Shiite politicians suspended negotiations for a new government and demanded a joint investigation. "I warn [the U.S.] that a battle with the calm giant Shiite means they are falling into a dangerous swamp," said a spokesman for the prime minister's party.
