Moqtada al-Sadr says the fun is over, everybody go home and wait for democracy.
Radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr sent his fighters home on Wednesday in what may mark the end of a 10-week revolt against U.S.-led forces that once engulfed southern Iraq and Shi'ite Islam's holiest shrines.
"I could picture parts of the transport sector being better secured. A lot could have been done better if one saw things in context," said NSM director Jan Erik Larsen to NRK.
In effect, Norway is virtually defenseless, with no emergency procedures.
NSM has been waiting for 1.5 years, and now the Department of Defence has promised to speed up.

Somebody has written the first alleged virus, a network worm, that targets mobile phones.
The Cabir worm is the first network worm for mobile phones, according to Kaspersky Labs. It was written by 29a, a group of virus writers which specialises in proof-of-concept viruses - they made the first viruses for .NET and for Win64.
The virus uses Bluetooth technology to transfer itself to other mobiles that runs the Symbian mobile OS. So far, you don't have to be too worried, as the virus is not in the wild - it was forwarded directly to anti-virus groups from the authors - and it requires the user to both have bluetooth switched on and to answer "yes" to installing the application past two warning messages. Lastly, the virus does no damage.
Well, considering how many dimwits blindly execute email attachments, such mobile viruses may still spread in real life. Sometimes I am happy I have an old fashioned mobile phone, limited to voice and sms.
