The Kurd, Mohammed Abdullah, had moved into the house after...
...Coalition Provisional Authority in the city: "We are not here to ethnically cleanse any group. People should be able to choose where they live. These people were the pawns of Saddam's policy, not its architects." That said, coalition forces have not yet agreed to put the disheartened Sheik Hassan Assi--or others like him--back in his dream home...
