The US military last night vowed to "kill or capture" a radical Shia cleric who led an uprising against the occupation authorities, despite warnings that it would unleash yet more violent unrest.

"The mission of US forces is to kill or capture Moqtada al-Sadr," said Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, America's most senior general in Iraq. His threat comes despite concerted efforts by leading Iraqi politicians to negotiate a deal between the authorities and Mr Sadr, 30, whose forces in the past week have led rebellions in Baghdad and towns across southern Iraq.
