Let's keep Iranian Shia and Al-Quaeda two separates, both of which do their business in Iraq. Thinking that all hostile groups in Iraq are cooperating just because they all fight against the US and the Iraqui state, is misleading. The timing of heavy fighting having broken out in Basra, the Mahdi army being involved, is far more insteresting. It was said the Iraqi security forces choosed time and place, but I don't buy it. I assume they had to choose like they did because circumstances forced them to.
