Various shots of people praying STORYLINE : The violence continued in Iraq with an suicide attack on an Iraqi convoy in Fallujah, while in Baghdad clerics used Friday prayers to condemn the murder of a diplomat and call for the withdrawal of occupation forces. There was no immediate word on casualties in the Fallujah, some 65 kilometres (40 miles) west of Baghdad. Smoke was billowing from the area. Hours after the explosion, U.S. and Iraqi troops opened the road in the eastern neighbourhood of Dubat and remains of human flesh and mangled cars could be seen at the scene. Meanwhile in Baghdad, Sunni cleric Ahmed al Samarrai condemned the murder of Egyptian diplomat Ihab al-Sherif. Speaking at Um al Qurra mosque, al Samarrai said "God doesn't accept this act " because it did not serve the people of Iraq. Al-Sherif, 51, was seized on Saturday in Baghdad. Three days later, gunmen fired on senior envoys from Pakistan and Bahrain, two Muslim nations with close ties to the United States, in apparent kidnap attempts. Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed in a Web site posting that it had killed al-Sherif, and warned it would go after "as many ambassadors as we can" to punish countries that support Iraq's U.S.-backed leadership. Meanwhile in the al Hikmah mosque in al Sadr city, Shiite cleric Abdul Zahrah al Swaidi said Iraqis lived in a state crisis because of the US-led occupation in Iraq. Al Swaidi said a petition aimed at collecting a (m) million signatures demanding the withdrawal of coalition forces had given a blessing by Shiite cleric Muqtada al Sadr.
