Protests are continuing around the Shiite world against the attacks on Najaf, one of the holiest cities in the Muslim world.

Yesterday Najaf’s deputy governor Jawdat Kadam Najem al-Kuraishi and half of the 30-member provincial council resigned to protest the US assault. The deputy governor said “I resign from my post denouncing all the US terrorist operations that they are doing against this holy city.”

In Iran, thousands marched through the streets of Tehran to protest the U.S. actions in Najaf.
