Iraq
Tater under arrest in Iran?
2008-05-18
Shia cleric Muqtada al Sadr is present in the Iranian city of Qom, Asmaa al Mousawi, leading member of the Al Sadr political bloc in Iraq, told Asharq Al-Awsat, "We can neither confirm nor deny this information and we cannot discuss the whereabouts of Sayyed Muqtada al Sadr for security reasons."

A reliable Iraqi source based in Qom told Asharq Al-Awsat Friday, "Al Sadr is held in a house affiliated to IranÂ’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps. He is isolated from others; nobody is allowed to see him and he is not permitted to leave the house." The source added, "Only a very small number of people, who I can count on the fingers of one hand, are allowed to see him."

The source, a student of Islamic jurisprudence [Fiqh] at the Qom Hawza said, "Muqtada al Sadr's phone number had been given to a small number of his close associates however this number has been cut off completely."
