Al Hakim and Al Sadr make deal
Shiite politician Abdul Aziz Hakim met with the influential Shiite cleric Moqtada Al Sadr on Saturday to come to an agreement on how to bring bloodshed to an end. The resulting agreement consists of three points according to a statement made by Al Hakim: "First: the necessity to maintain and respect Iraqi blood [to stop bloodletting] under whatever circumstances or by any party. Bloodletting is contrary to all legislations and morals," it said. The remaining two points talked about uniting their media and cultural efforts and setting up of a joint committee with provincial branches to keep order between their factions.
