theweaselkingShiite also says female soldiers can be taken as slave
BASRA, Iraq - A senior aide of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr told worshippers during a Friday sermon in southern Iraq that anyone capturing a female British soldier can keep her as a slave.
The aide, Sheik Abdul-Sattar al-Bahadli, also called on supporters to launch jihad, or holy war, against British troops in this southern city.
He offered money to anyone capturing or killing a member of the Governing Council, the widely unpopular interim administration appointed by the U.S.-led occupation 10 months ago.
He held what he said were documents and photographs of three Iraqi women being raped at British-run prisons in Iraq.
He also accused British forces in Basra of failing to honor agreements not to patrol inside the city and to stop harassing al-Sadr supporters in Basra.
Al-Bahadli said 250,000 dinars (about $350) will be given to anyone capturing a British soldier and 100,000 dinars (or $150) to anyone killing one.
