Top Iraqi Cleric has issued a religious fatwa allowing the killing of US troops in Iraq.
Ayatollah Sistani declared that it is "permissible" for Muslim fighters in Iraq to target US soldiers.
"Killing US military personel is muba", said the most powerful religious authority cleric in Iraq.
US government is extremely worried that the Shiite Cleric has given "green light" to Iraqi people to expel US forces from the country.
President George Bush has praised Grand Ayatollah Sistani for remaining quiet in the first year of Iraq invasion in 2003.
Now Al Sistani says it is "OK" to "shoot American marines".
