Battle of Amarah The Battle of Amarah took place from October 19 to October 20 , 2006 between the Mahdi Army and police , who were largely members of the Badr Organization . Background . The city of Amarah was said to have been relatively peaceful during the war , though two competing militia , the Badr Organization , and Mahdi Army existed in it . At the start of the war , there was considerable fighting amongst rival factions , and towards the end , British forces had daily contact with OMS militia - their headquarters being ripped apart by Iraqi mortar fire . British forces left Amarah in August 2006 and the Iraqi government resumed control of the town . In mid October , a roadside bomb killed the Police Chief of Amarah , who belonged to the Badr Organization . In response to this , the police captured a brother of the suspected bomber , who was a member of the Mahdi Army . Fighting . Fighting began on October 19 , when 800 masked members of the Mahdi army stormed three police stations in Amarah . Several firefights occurred between the militia and police over a course of the two days . At the height of the fighting , AP Television News video showed thick , black smoke billowing from behind barricades at a police station , much of it from vehicles set on fire inside the compound . By the end of the day the Mahdi Army had full control of Amarah . Militiamen were patrolling the streets in captured police cars and maintaining order throughout the city . The militiamen withdrew the next day from their positions and lifted their siege under a truce brokered by an al - Sadr envoy as the Iraqi forces entered the city . The timing of the violence may have indicated al - Sadr and other Mahdi Army commanders did not have full control over individual units , lending weight to speculation that Shiite gunmen were splitting off from the main organization to pursue their own agendas . A few days later there was reported fighting in the town of Suwayra , again between Iraqi security forces and Mahdi Army militiamen .

Blarney Castle Blarney Castle ( Irish : " Caisleán na Blarnan " ) is a medieval stronghold in Blarney , near Cork , Ireland , and the River Martin . Though earlier fortifications were built on the same spot , the current keep was built by the MacCarthy of Muskerry dynasty , a cadet branch of the Kings of Desmond , and dates from 1446 . The noted Blarney Stone is found among the machicolation s of the castle . History . The castle originally dates from before 1200 , when a wooden structure was believed to have been built on the site , although no evidence remains of this . Around 1210 this was replaced by a stone fortification . It was destroyed in 1446 , but subsequently rebuilt by Cormac Laidir MacCarthy , Lord of Muscry . The castle was besieged during the Irish Confederate Wars and was seized in 1646 by Parliamentarian forces under Lord Broghill . However after the Restoration the castle was restored to Donough MacCarty , who was made 1st Earl of Clancarty . During the Williamite War in Ireland in the 1690s , the then 4th Earl of Clancarty ( also named Donough MacCarty ) was captured and his lands ( including Blarney Castle ) were confiscated by the Williamite s . The castle was sold and changed hands a number of times - Sir Richard Pyne , the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland , owned it briefly - before being purchased in the early 1700s by Sir James St . John Jefferyes , then Governor of Cork City . Members of the Jefferyes family would later build a mansion near the keep . This house was destroyed by fire however , and in 1874 a replacement baronial mansion — known as Blarney House — was built overlooking the nearby lake . In the mid 19th century the Jefferyes and Colthurst families were joined by marriage , and the Colthurst family still occupy the demesne . In May 2008 , the present estate owner , Sir Charles St John Colthurst , Baronet , succeeded in a court action to eject a man who has lived on his land for 44 years . The man ' s great - grandfather was the first to occupy the estate cottage . Tourism . The castle is now a partial ruin with some accessible rooms and battlements . At the top of the castle lies the Stone of Eloquence , better known as the Blarney Stone . Tourists visiting Blarney Castle may hang upside - down over a sheer drop to kiss the stone , which is said to give the gift of eloquence . There are many legends as to the origin of the stone , but some say that it was the Lia Fáil — a magical stone upon which Irish kings were crowned . Surrounding the castle are extensive gardens . There are paths touring the grounds with signs pointing out the various attractions such as several natural rock formations which have been given fanciful names , such as " Druid ' s Circle " , " Witch ' s Cave " and the " Wishing Steps " . Blarney House , also open to the public , is a Scottish baronial - style mansion that was built on the grounds in 1874 .
