A Kurdish army brigade in northern Iraq was undergoing intensive urban combat training as it readied for deployment in the latest Baghdad security operation and was expected to take on the capital's Mahdi Army Shiite militia, its commander said on Saturday.

Meanwhile, three Iraqi generals told The Associated Press that the Iraqi commander who will lead the overall Baghdad security mission was the government's second choice and only got the job after the U.S. military objected to the first officer named to the post by Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

In the northern city of Irbil, Brig. Gen. Nazir Assem Korran, commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, 2nd Division of the Iraqi army, said "we will head to Baghdad soon. We have 3,000 soldiers who are currently undergoing intensive training especially in urban combat and how the army should act inside a city,"

Korran told The AP he did not know how the operation would unfold but said the Defense Ministry in Baghdad had asked his brigade to take part in the security operation along with thousands of other Iraqi and U.S. troops.

Turn 20,000 Kurds loose on the Sunni's. THAT will make them see the Lord.
