Iraq's Sadr movement holds US forces responsible for the recent wave of violence and insecurity in Iraq that has left numbers of people dead.

A leading Sadrist condemned Friday's bloody attacks on mosques in Baghdad.

Talal al-Sa'adi accused the occupation forces of launching terrorist attacks in order to weaken the government. He said that the United States does not want Iraq to have a strong government made up of different political parties because such a government would not be in Washington's best interest.

On Friday, a string of bombings rocked a market in central Baghdad and the capital's suburban district of Sadr City, leaving over 70 dead and more than 200 injured.

The blasts across the Iraqi capital are one of the deadliest waves of attacks to date, taking its toll on Shia mosques among other places.
