Baghdad - A prayer leader of one of Baghdad's largest Sunni mosques has asked God to make United States President George W Bush suffer the same fate as former Israeli premier Ariel Sharon.

Sharon formally lost his seat as head of Israel, declared permanently incapacitated by a coma.

In his sermon at the main weekly prayers in the capital's Abdel Qader al-Kilani mosque, Sheikh Mahmoud Issawi raised his hands to the sky with tears flowing from his eyes and called on God to strike down the US president.

"Lord, make the fate of the criminal Bush like the fate of the criminal Sharon, make him suffer in this world before the next," said Issawi.

Issawi said the "forces of occupation" were responsible for the violence in Iraq.

Issawi said: "Oh Lord, visit suffering upon the American people and show them your power.

"Leave their children without parents, their women without husbands and let their blood flow the way the blood of the Iraqis has flowed."
