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