Things like the ambassador getting attacked don't make it any easier, either," he said, referring to the recent ambush of the Polish ambassador's motorcade in Baghdad, which killed a member of his security detail and wounded the ambassador and three others. Military officials said they believed that attack was the work of a Shi'ite militant group known as the Battalions of Hussein, a splinter group of radical Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al Sadr's Mahdi Army. The same group made life difficult for British...
