After prophet film,
militia threatens
U.S. interests in Iraq
BAGHDAD (AP) — A Shiite militant group threat-
ened U.S. interests in Iraq on Thursday as part of the
backlash over an anti-Islam film it described as "hei-
nous."
Iranian-backed Asaib Ahl al-Haq leader Qais al-
Khazali said the amateurish video that ridicules
Prophet Muhammad was unforgiveable. A statement
by the militia called on all Muslims to "face our joint
enemy."
"The offense against the Messenger will put all the
American interests Iraq in danger. We will not forgive
that," al-Khazali told The Associated Press in an inter-
view.
The Messenger is a reference to Muhammad, who is
believed in Islam to be God's messenger.
The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad remains the world's
largest American diplomatic mission, with an estimat-
ed 15,000 employees. Asaib Ahl al-Haq, or Band of the
People of Righteousness, led deadly attacks against
U.S. troops before the American military withdrew
from the country last year. Iraqi and U.S. intelligence
officials have estimated that Iran, the regional Shiite
power, sends the militia around $5 million in cash and
weapons each month.
The warning capped a day of growing tensions in
Baghdad, where hundreds of Shiite followers of the
anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr demanded the
closure of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad over the anti-
Islam movie.
Protestors burned American flags and carried ban-
ners reading, "We reject the attack on the Prophet
Mohammed."
"No, no, to Israel! No, no to America!" thousands
shouted in the Shiite stronghold of Sadr City in north-
east Baghdad. "Yes, yes for Messenger of God!"
In an interview, Sadr supporter and cleric Sheikh Ali
al-Atwani said the Iraqi government should shut down
the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad immediately, "and the
American government should apologize to the entire
Islamic world."
There was no immediate response Thursday from
the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
A leading Iraqi lawmaker also called on Washington
to punish the filmmakers, saying the movie seeks
"inciting violence and extremism, creating hatred
among the peoples, and even inciting sectarian vio-
lence among Muslims."
But Ali al-Alak, the Shiite head of parliament's reli-
gious committee, urged Muslims worldwide to use
"wise methods" in responding to it instead of turning
to violence like the kind this week that killed four
Americans at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, including
U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.
Protesters in Egypt and Yemen also scaled the walls
at the U.S. embassies in the capitals of those two
nations.
"We regret the violence that led to the killing of U.S.
diplomats in Libya, and we call for self-restraint in
order not to be drawn into worldwide conflict," al-
Alak said during a Thursday meeting of parliament.

House to pass six-month spending bill
ByANDREW TAYLOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — As its
last major act before leaving
Washington for the fall campaign,
the House is voting to put the gov-
ernment on autopilot for six
months.
The temporary spending bill is
needed to avert a government shut-
down when the current budget year
expires Sept. 30. At issue are the
day-to-day operating budgets of
Cabinet agencies that are funded
annually by Congress through 12
appropriations bills.
Thursday's vote represents a
retreat by tea party House
Republicans, since the stopgap mea-
sure permits spending at a pace
that's $19 billion above the stringent
budget plan authored by GOP vice
presidential nominee Rep. Paul
Ryan of Wisconsin.
Instead, the measure permits
spending at the higher budget
"caps" permitted under last sum-
mer's hard-fought budget and debt
deal between President Barack
Obama and Capitol Hill
Republicans. Typically, short-term
spending bills freeze agency bud-
gets at existing levels, but
Thursday's measure actually would
permit an across-the-board 0.6 per-
cent increase, in keeping with the
budget deal. It also maintains
spending on domestic programs
rather than shifting $8 billion from
domestic programs to the Pentagon.
Ryan was scheduled Thursday to
make his first appearance at the
Capitol since being named to the
GOP ticket. He'll vote in favor of the
measure.
Even though it abandons the
GOP budget, the six-month spend-
ing measure has backing from con-
servatives who want to avoid the
prospect of an omnibus spending
bill in the postelection lame duck
session and who hope to have great-
er leverage next year.
"If you anticipate being in a bet-
ter bargaining position in January,"
said Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J., "why
go to the bargaining table in
December?"
The Senate is expected to easily
pass the bill next week and then is
likely to exit Washington for the
campaign.
The spending measure is the last
major piece of pre-election legisla-
tion likely to be enacted into law
from a Congress that's been mostly
gridlocked from the moment it took
the oath of office.
The measure would replenish
disaster aid coffers, finance the food
stamp program after it lapses on
Sept. 30 and reauthorize for six
months federal grants to states to
run their welfare programs.
Just a handful of high-priority
programs would be awarded larg-
er increases, including a govern-
ment cybersecurity initiative,
wildfire suppression efforts, a
drive to modernize the U.S. nucle-
ar arsenal and processing of veter-
an disability claims. A popular ini-
tiative to repair the dome of the
Capitol was left unfunded, howev-
er, despite a high-profile push by
Senate Democrats.
