Shi’ite cleric calls for end to fighting in Iraq
EFL
Iraq’s leading Shi’ite cleric yesterday appealed for an end to the violence sweeping the country between followers of firebrand Shi’ite cleric Sheik Muqtada al-Sadr and coalition forces.
And who would that be?
Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-Shistani’s statement helped ease fears that the uprising would spread to more moderate Shi’ites, who make up the majority of Iraq’s population. There was no evidence of that happening as of yesterday.
Ah, Shitstani is getting a little jittery.
