Al-Sadr suspends the Sadrist movement's activities in Diyala
[Shafaq News] The work of Saraya al-Salam (The Peace Companies), an gang loyal to Shiite holy man Moqtada Tater al-Sadr
...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry...
, has been suspended in Diyala, a leaked document confirmed on Saturday.

A volatile governorate that borders Iran, Diyala has long been a hotbed for Sunni Islamist bad boy activity, including ISIS and al-Qaeda, who have sought refuge in its palm groves and orchards. It has also witnessed periodic Shiite militia activity. The governorate is also home to a diverse mix of Kurdish, Shiite, and Sunni Arab communities, with a complex web of tribal and political dynamics that have often contributed to its instability.

In a handwritten note on an official correspondence about the work of the gang in Diyala, al-Sadr confirmed, "Indeed, the work of Saraya [al-Salam] is suspended in Diyala."

"Nobody is authorized to make statements on behalf of the Saraya," the note read, "in fact, starting from the moment, the work of the entire [Sadrist] movement in Diyala is suspended."
