Ongoing crisis around Muqtada al-Sadr

Jaun Cole (anti-war ME expert)

...Sadr al-Din al-Qubanji, a leader of the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI, whose over-all leader is Abdul Aziz al-Hakim), wants to give Muqtada and his supporters a choice between leaving Najaf voluntarily and confronting a Shiite alliance of the grand ayatollahs, the Shiite parties and militias, and Shiite notables who blame him for their expulsion from the city. He implied that the Badr Corps militia might be ued to expel the Sadrists from the city...
If the US just leaves him alone, the other Shia leaders will get rid of Al-Sadr for us.
